Overview
About Me
Currently travelling in Colombia.
I am deeply passionate about learning and chose to study medicine to satisfy my thirst for knowledge. This passion extends to my volunteer work, which not only provides another dimension to my career choice but also allows me to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. I love eating, conversing, getting to know new places and people, reading, listening to music, and helping others.
Family, which for my is not defined by blood ties, is a cornerstone of my life, and I cherish every moment spent with them; that's probably one of the only drawbacks of traveling – spending long periods of time apart. Despite that, I really, really love traveling, which is quite logical considering the other things I love. Before the pandemic, I embarked on a solo journey to nearly 20 countries across Europe, an experience that has profoundly shaped my worldview. Since then, I have continued to explore the natural beauty of my home country, especially its breathtaking beaches, something I've been doing since I was a child. If you need information about it, maybe I could help you out with it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Everything began when I started researching about travelling around the world and discovered Couchsurfing. At the beginning, it seemed like a way to get a free place to stay, but later on, I realized that Couchsurfing is much more than that. It is a huge opportunity for getting to know new people, cultures, learning from each other's experiences, and more. So I decided to take that enormous chance!
As I traveled around Europe, I got to experience a little bit of it, and it was wonderful. I met and interacted with so many astonishing people and received so much love, kindness, generosity, and help from them that I am amazed every time I think about it. Therefore, I want to continue building new relationships and giving some of that kindness back to other travelers in a similar situation to the one I was in some time ago.
Interests
Medicine, travelling, learning languages, knowledge in general, exploring new places, meeting people and cooking. Lately I have been specially interested in city design, mobility, etc.
I like to party, but prefer the not so noisy ones in which you can comfortably talk to other people, and I'm not a good dancer haha.
Also, I don't smoke, but as long as you do it outside of the house, I'm fine with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I travelled on my own during two months around Europe and I went to 19 countries before my 20th birthday, which is not that much, but I'll try to keep on expanding my knowledge about the world!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am currently learning german and french, besides a lot of things about the human body. I could teach some English or Spanish and to share insights into Costa Rica and its culture, specially related to beaches.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I offer engaging conversations, insights into Costa Rican culture, and probably a delicious meal!
Also, I have some experience backpacking in Europe that you may find useful.
