I'm a transplant in Singapore from Costa Rica, after having lived in the US and Ireland. I'm just getting set up here and getting to know the area myself.

I love hosting people, but am pretty chill. I do enjoy getting to know my guests and chatting when time allows. My fb profile: www.facebook.com/dcastrojohanning

My attempt at a blog is: www.nomadtico.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it fun, and have meet many really cool people hosting in Dublin, San Jose CA, and now in Singapore. I've also enjoyed joining couchsurfing hangouts when I travel abroad as a great way to meet people who are also exploring new cities.

Interests

outdoors, exploring, chilling, trying new beers, learning, reading, playing videogames, and working like a madman.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot, but:

Books: LoTR, Garcia Marquez, How Green was my Valley, If On a Winter's Night a Traveller, Walter Moers, Dostoievsky

Music: Iron Maiden, Lou Reed, Gogol Bordello, Phil Ochs, Joaquin Sabina, Against Me!, Taking Back Sunday, Slayer, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Movies: Mr. Nobody, Forrest Gump, Adam Sandler (I know, Iknow), LoTR

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking halfway across the USA (it's only half amazing I guess)

Teach, Learn, Share

My house, info on analytics as a field of work, book recommendations, music, introspective conversation

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being a nice, clean, quirky, funny guest. A random Dublin souvenir to decorate your house (spreading these around the world as I travel :p). Info on Costa Rica or the other countries I've lived in or travelled to. Bad advice on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness
