ABOUT ME

I am 35 yo specialist on coral reef conservation, climate change and indigenous people.

PHILOSOPHY

The smallest details make the biggest differences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is about more than just seeing new places—it's about connecting with people, sharing cultures, and learning from each other's experiences. Coming from an indigenous region in Panama, I’ve always valued the importance of community, and Couchsurfing allows me to extend that sense of community across the world.

My work focuses on tourism, supporting indigenous cultures, and addressing climate change, and I’ve found that the most meaningful insights often come from personal interactions. Whether it’s exchanging stories over a meal, exploring hidden gems with a local, or discussing important topics like traditional medicine and sustainable living, Couchsurfing offers the unique opportunity to create lasting memories and friendships.

I’m here to connect with like-minded people, to share and learn, and to experience the world from different perspectives. For me, Couchsurfing is about enriching my journey through genuine human connections.
