I'm a graphic designer and photographer from Costa Rica, with a huge passion for cinema, arts and music; full of curiosity for the world, looking to travel every corner, getting to know its people and different cultures. In the last few years I've also become very interested and active in environmental issues and sustainability, and finding how to live our lives in a way that's healthier for ourselves, the people around us, and the planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like having the opportunity to meet people from other parts of the world, learning from their experiences, their language and culture. Getting involved in this wonderful community is one of the best decisions I've made! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge Star Wars fan :) Besides that I'm very passionate about cinema, I love to study and analyze movies. Great storytelling really inspires me. I’m also in love with animation and stop-motion. When it comes to music, I have quite a broad taste, from jazz, to rock to Latin music ("reggaeton" not so much xD) ...I'm always interested in listening to new music and discovering new artists. :) I also think reading is a great way to keep learning and finding source of inspiration, from what I have read I've liked Hemingway, Stefan Sweig, Julio Cortázar (for the sake of naming a few), at the moment I'm working on making it more of a daily habit. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I took a 6-week French course in Paris and it really was a great experience! I got to meet people from different parts of the world and that only made my curiosity for the world and desire to travel grow even bigger!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share with others what I've learnt through the years, and at the same time learn from experiences others can share with me. Some of the knowledge I can share with you include: art, design and photography, basic music theory and eco-friendly everyday habits ;)
