I was born and raised in Costa Rica, where I regularly enjoyed surfing, swimming and went through a lot of schooling! I then moved to Texas to pursue an engineering degree.

Currently, I am an Aerospace Engineering PhD student at Texas A&M University and like to travel and experience new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couchsurfing is the best way to experience a new place. Learning about the lives of the hosts and sharing with them forms a human connection, and keeps us open to new perspectives that enrich us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't stayed at a couch yet, and I hope to have a great experience when I do!

Biographies: they're like fiction books but even more interesting, it happened in real life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I saved a drunk father from drowning in a treacherous beach break in Costa Rica. Maybe the most intense 5 minutes of my life, his life, and his kids' lives.

Teach, Learn, Share

I volunteer during the summers to teach STEM subjects to middle schools students.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to cook a traditional meal for the hosts, share reading lists and listen to their life experience!
