About Me

I'll try to write enough so that you can get an idea of how am I but not very much so that you don't get bored or don't even read it at all.

I am from San José, the capital of Costa Rica. I'm 22 years old. I am studying Communication at the University of Costa Rica and I'm a working musician, currently playing costarican folk music and learning jazz.

I might seem somehow shy when getting to know someone, but I get comfortable quickly.

One of the things I enjoy the most is listening and sharing stories with others. Everybody has a list of unique events in their lifes and being able to share that is amazing.

I'm very interested in learning the gastronomy of the places I visit. Also, I love walking at night around the cities I'm at.

I enjoy a lot playing soccer and volleyball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used it for a trip I did to Europe on July-September 2015 and totally loved it. The people I was able to meet through the website, besides all the great moments I had made me a huge fan of it. I haven't been able to host people at my place because of constant construction works that have been happening, but I want to do it soon.

Interests

Learning about different cultures and knowing people and places.
I'm looking to spend quality time with people, enjoying and sharing our different worlds.
