Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My friends will probably describe me as a person interested in cultures, religions, music, art and food from all partes of the world. I believe in cultural exchange and global citizenships. I like to share my language and culture with others. I like hosting and cooking for friends. I prefer to host solo travelers.
ABOUT ME
I would say I am a relaxed, open minded, happy person living in San Jose, Costa Rica, close to family, but with an apartment in the middle of a nice city to explore. I like to visit theaters and bars, museums, join concerts and feel culturally active. I have hosted friends from other countries in my apartment and I like to share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with a nice conversation.
PHILOSOPHY
I am a strong believer in respect to all human beings, trust, and friendship. I like to see how communication can open new doors and get people closer to reach common goals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I traveled to India for a month backpacking in February this year. I have gone three times to the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, USA. I have gone to Brazil for Carnaval 7 times. :) I guess I like samba a lot!
Teach, Learn, Share
I have taught Spanih in the US as well asn History and Civic Education. In Costa Rica, I work with an international volunteer organization. I like to share ideas and information about my country, Latin America and also learn about how other people live and improve their lives and their communities.

I like to cook, make sangria, share music, and talk about trips and experiences. Each conversation is a life lesson.
