Hello everybody, I'm María Cecilia from Costa Rica and I have been on Couchsurfing for 16 years already. I move a lot as I work and study online. I am a translator, proofreader and language teacher, and I am currently in the last year of the BA in Classical Philology and I am also studying a diploma in Korean Studies, among others, such as a 3-year Modern Greek program and the University of Buenos Aires. As you can guess, I love languages, history and ancient civilizations. I also love exercising, yoga, gardening and plants in general! I have spent half of my life traveling the World and learning languages, and I have also been to nearly every country in Latin America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the kind of exchange and friendship one can build through this website, where you share and learn.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn about your culture and your family, how the lifestyle is where you live, where your family is from, how you feel about your country,etc

It would be cool if you could write/speak to me in any other languages I speak if your native language is neither English nor Spanish.
