About Me

I am from Costa Rica and graduated as a business manager at the University of Costa Rica. I have been working at Pfizer for 6 years now and in 2021 started my own business. Is an outdoors brand that looks for bringing more sustainable products that let people enjoy nature and going outdoors. Also, we plant a tree for each order 🌳 you can take a look at my company’s instagram @paramo.eco.

I want to expand my academic background by studying in another country so I can learn from other cultures and share mine as well. Have done 2 exchanges, 1 in the US where I had the opportunity to work in a Ski Resort, learned how to ski and improved my english language. Also I went to Brazil for a volunteer program which made me a way better person, learned a new language and opened my eyes and mind in another way.

Traveling have always been the best way to challenge my self and to innovate and find solutions so I always try to do it as many times as possible because this is kind of my therapy. Love to try new food, meet new people, share different point of views and perspectives.

Fan of pets too, I have 3 dachshunds and 1 border collie 😊

Hope we can met and have a great time! Pura vida 🇨🇷

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know as many countries as possible but always there is a limit or a barrier for the accommodation fees and I think that it would help a lot on that. I also enjoy travel alone so I can get out of my bubble, meet new people, new cultures and expand that network all over the world so they can come to Costa Rica as well and enjoy this beautiful country.
