I'm a costarican biologist currently doing my PhD in Ecology in Brazil. I work with conservation and bats and their interactions with plants (pollination). I'm a vegetarian, I love sports (yoga, running, cycling, etc) and meditation is fundamental in my life. I like nature, being in the forest, beach, rivers... recharges my energies. I love animals (dogs!!), eating, dancing, and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never used couchsurfing, but I have several friends who have told me is definitely the best choice! It seems like a way of knowing not only a place but also people who at the end of the day makes a place much more entertaining and interesting!
