CURRENT MISSION

To live honourably

ABOUT ME

Graduate Astronomy student at UCSC.

Majored in Physics and Classics in Costa Rica, I studied 1 year in Barcelona (as Erasmus), where I got to know Couchsurfing, and loved it. I surfed in some occasions, and I've hosted several too!

I like to meet people from abroad, there's always something to learn! I'm quite shy at the beginning, but tend to change as I know that person.

I have a Tolkien-related blog: http://tolkien-inspiration.blogspot.com/, and I help my mom with a cooking blog:http://julia-lamamadelostomates.blogspot.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Honour, honesty, loyalty, courage, respect, compassion, justice.

Aurë entuluva!
