Costa rican living in Mexico since 2017.

Good example of the Pura Vida! Friendly and easy going.

I love the outdoors and being surrounded by nature.

I'm an engineer (electrical) and like almost all the engineers I have an scientific thinking but it doesn't mean I can't hold and enjoy conversations about any other topic such us politics, world peace, sports...

I am a pastry chef too. So, if you have a mixer at home, please let me use it! You wont regret of it!

You can take a look at my own pastry project on instagram: @maramelo.mx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´d love to meet new people and share with different cultures, see the world through other people´s eyes and experiences.

Another way to see is that I totally believe in Karma so anything good that I could do for travelers will be paid in the same way in this life, or in another one... It really doesn't matter, the point is to be useful and kind.
