I love the Pura Vida lifestyle, I'm all about having fun and chilling with people that are relaxed. I hate to feel stressed, stress kill people and I do not intend to die soon.

Music is what a I love most, I play the bass guitar, guitar and currently learning how to play the ukulele but I can find my way around a drum set or keyboards. Live music is awesome and I enjoy very much hearing what people have to say through music. If you are a musician we should probably jam together. I love all types of music except reggeaton, if you don't know what that is I'll instantly like you. But definitely I like rock, jazz reggae, latin music and especially funk music. Funk is the reason why I became a musician especially from the late 70's era.

Surfing is a very important part of my life and since I'm from Costa Rica I try to go to the beach everytime I can. Fortunately, waves are constant where I live so surfing is a year-round activity. The movement of the ocean teaches you respect if the waves are big o let you enjoy, relax and have fun if the conditions are perfect, either way I enjoy every surf.

Food! Well I used to be a fat kid and my love for food is beyond anything. I'm not fat anymore because I got to a point where I couldn't mantain that lifestyle so I began to train brazilian jiu jitsu and boxing 7 years ago so that I can eat as much as my inner fat kid wants, so everyone wins here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel, meet new people, see what the world has to offer. Life is not supposed to be lived in one place. My friends have told me this is a great way to get to know a place, their people and their customs so that's why I'm here.
