I've met Couchsurfers in France, Uganda, and India. They were always likeable and interesting.

I've lived in Costa Rica for 14 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Killed a snake in my house in D.R. Congo. Have ridden an elephant and a camel. Learned to be patient.

Recently managed to get a snake to mount a broom in my house and carried it outside and dumped it into a neighbor's garden. (Hey, they pile the yard waste up so high that it's pushing over the fence - and they don't have dogs. And no, there are no snakes on the property. My cat just manages to find them on the border. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a one bedroom house on a large property with a main house, three other cabins, and an overgrown garden. I have three friendly dogs and a cat. None of us bite. :) You'll get a queen-size bed in your own cabin, wi-fi, and hot water. Five minutes uphill from the bus stop. Can help you navigate San José buses. I'm a 45-minute bus ride west of downtown San José.
