Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Try to learn as much as possible while discovering the world
ABOUT ME
They will say I am reliable, trustworthy, numerate, meticulous and bit crazy (in the good way). I am a very social person who likes to talk a lot... sometimes!! My friends will also say that I am a guy that likes to have fun! spontaneous and adventurer! I consider myself smart and sometimes I can be a bit geek!
PHILOSOPHY
You can't say: I don't like it, if you haven't try it, but you may say I'm not interested. So live, smile, enjoy and be happy with the little things that life have given you and the rest that it has to offer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm here to open my home and sharing the "insider" secrets of my neighborhood. My house is right at Playa Callejones, in the beautiful Pacific coast of Costa Rica. I love showing people the quiet beauty of this spot. Whether it’s giving advice on travel routes or broadcasting the benefits of Couchsurfing to everyone I meet, I just want to help people experience the world with an open mind.
From the London Olympics to my own front door, CS has been a series of amazing experiences. I’m a very active person—if I’m not out hiking or at home dancing, I’m usually cooking or busy building my beach cabin from the ground up. I love working with my hands and sharing that creative energy with the people I host. If you’re headed this way, come say hi!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Building my own cabin by the Beach.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a bit of knowledge in different fields of study and also an interesting combination of skills so I'm open to share any of it with anyone who's interested.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’m happy to help you practice your conversation skills, explain local slang, or help you navigate any Spanish-language materials.
I love bringing a taste of my home to your kitchen. I can whip up a traditional breakfast of Gallo Pinto—our signature rice and beans—served with fresh, handmade tortillas made from scratch. It’s the best way to start the day!
I am a huge animal lover and have plenty of experience caring for pets. If you have a dog that needs an extra walk or a cat that needs some company while you’re at work, I’m your person! I treat every pet like they’re my own.
Beyond cooking, I’m always happy to help with the dishes, keep the common areas tidy, or share stories from my travels over a cup of coffee.
