About Me

How long has it been since I used Couchsurfing? It's exciting to go back and rewrite my interests and my world.

I love life and for love I am living in Germany.

I was born in Costa Rica, I lived my childhood in Panama, I returned to Costa Rica and became an adult. I went to live in Argentina for 5 years. I returned to Costa Rica and after 2 years, I am here, in the black forest of Germany.

I dedicate myself 100% to specialty coffee. I recently paid for my ticket to travel throughout Germany on public transportation. I can go wherever I want and that excites me.
Besides coffee, I love art, I love painting, I love cinema, I love nature and I love village markets.

I dream of teaching what I know about coffee. I hope to see the whole world through cups of coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because traveling is always the answer to any question

....With two days off a week, why not?

Interests

daydreams all the time...

I dream of opening a specialty cafe on a ship.

I am interested in writing a coffee book through a long journey, with no return.
I also really like wine and tea.

I like to sleep early and I love walking... I feel like with my feet nothing stops me

Music, Movies, and Books

many theater books, legends...
I like classical music, symphonic rock, Argentine punk rock.
I love Latin American cinema.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind makes me cry...
The movie Nebraska makes me embrace life tightly

"Machuca" is a movie that makes me question the system

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making the decision to come to Germany without knowing the German language. Thank you world, thank you life for this opportunity

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: everything I know about coffee I share, it is yours. Knowledge is something that belongs to all of us. I'm an open book

learn: I want to understand some sectors of society. I like the idea of rural people, simpler, simpler

Share: I want to listen to you, hear your stories and if there is time, I will share my stories with you too

I have traveled a lot through Latin America, I can give you tips.
