I am food entrepreneur, I run a business making the best handcrafted peanut butter in Costa Rica. I studied arts with a mayor in photography so I get more along with marketing than with accounting. Whenever I’m not working I’m at the gym, doing yoga or jogging. Also I enjoy a good book with a great coffee coupled with something sweet and fattening haha, I’m a cinephile and a bit of a foodie. And there is nothing I love more than an interesting and fun conversation. Followed by a good adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel (who doesn't) but I end up doing it mainly in Costa Rica, as I began to host CSrs I realized how much I enjoy showing travelers my city and giving them a hand while they are here. It's just great how you grow after every surfer, learning, sharing and making new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music from classical to electronic. Good music is like a religious experience. For movies you can check my Facebook's cover pictures (I have seen way to many movies for any sane person) so far my favorite one is La Grande Bellezza, and as for books, well, you can check out my library which happens to be in the guest room you could sleep in! If you are hosting me I read historic novels and classics, my favorite book is The Egyptian by Mika Waltari, it is the story of a man in ancient Egypt who becomes a doctor and travels around the eastern Mediterranean finding out about other countries but mainly about himself and his place in the world. But my favorite author is Oscar Wilde though. (I thrive in sarcasm) :) Right now because of business I am reading more about contemporary topics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing with a crocodile at the age of 4 and not getting eaten. Everything has been downhill since then 😛

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you tips for better photos, some spanish (mainly curse words 😇) and the costarrican "Pura vida" filosophy of life 🐒

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully I'll take a beautiful portrait of you, that you will love and cherish for life, if not at lease a new Facebook profile pic. Also I can cook the best pancakes you will ever have! (money guarantee 😛), a fun conversation and an open invitation to my place whenever you decide to visit Costa Rica 🇨🇷
