Overview
About Me
My name is Carlos Benard and I am currently living and working on my onw businesses in Granada, Nicaragua. I was borned and raised here although I have lived in Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and the United States for many years.
I am a business professional with over 12 years of experience in logistics, procurement, marketing within the industries of banking, agribusiness and resort development and operations in the US and Nicaragua mainly. I currently work on our family businesses in Granada where we have a hostel, a farm with sugar cane and cattle and a small sugar distribution business in the local market.
I am divorced and live with my mom and sister who are the owners of all of our businesses. My ex wife lives in Nashua, NH with my son and therefore I will be traveling to this town very often. My son is my best friend and my most important priority. He is 8 years old and wants to be a youtuber.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would love to couchsurfing to meet new people and to experience the true locality of new places. I also like to host people who are couchsurfing in my hostel to meet them and have that experience as well.
