My name is Mauricio. I study agricultural economics and political science at the University of Costa Rica. I'm bartender since I turned 18, I am also fond of wine culture. I was assistant sommelier for two years, which aroused my interest in winemaking, so far I only produced a fortified wine "Sofia" with vines Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Its 23% alcohol volume.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A year ago me and my family hosts a really friendly Chinese couple, who traveled by the word and listen his story, inspired me to want do something similar (http://cctv.cntv.cn/2015/07/04/VIDE1435987565692782.shtml)
