We have hosted many surfers together through his profile.

I am currently back in school to become a UX Researcher/Designer, because this world needs more ethical user-centered technology, and women need to be more involved in this process.

I've been an aerial dancer for 3 years now. I dance on silks and the lyra. It is my absolute passion and I wish I could dance every single day if my body would let me :P

I'm easy-going, I adapt to many environments easily. I like to learn something new every day.

I'm first-generation Costarican-American. I can't really decide where I'm "from". I also don't know how to write About Me's because I'm not sure what defines me, so ask me anything you'd like to know!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love to travel and meet new people. I believe that I will get to know a country better if I meet its people; staying in a hotel will only alienate me from the reality of each place I visit.

I think this is a great community where individuals with the same interests and similar mindsets can meet up and learn from each other.

Intereses

I read a lot, I go out with friends. I like to go on nature adventures, visit cities with tons of history and do ghost tours just for the fun stories.

Música, películas y libros

I listen mainly to alternative folk music, but I appreciate almost every kind there is.

I also read all types of books: history, biographical, fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, etc.

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to entertainment.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Travel to Brazil. It was an amazing culture shock and I started learning Portuguese by scratch. I also stayed with a family for 3 months, I learned so much in a short period of time and I found a new family in another country :D
