Hey, I'm Mariano, a Guatemalan student, photographer, traveler.. I study product design and I design furniture and do branding for products, during vacations I travel, to learn about culture, see the world, make new friends!

Always down to grab a beer and hanging out! I'm very outgoing, open-minded, talkative and I love to travel and share my experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, live the local experience and travel as much as I can!
