🇮🇪 Ireland is home now! 💚

Hi CS Community!

I’m a solo traveler & explorer from Costa Rica. In 2023 after turning 30 I decided to redefine success, career, and life on my terms. I quit my 8-5 and gave up my life in Costa Rica to wander the world for a bit!

I’ve always been a firm believer in the power of travel to transform, enlighten and connect with people in a very unique way, and this is why I love the CS community!

I’m a clean, polite guest. I love cooking and experimenting new foods, exploring the city and the countryside, meeting up with local people and immersing myself in the local culture.
I can help you learn and practice Spanish and tell you all about my beautiful country and all the places I've traveled so far ✈️🌎

2025 Update ✍️

After a successful and exciting year traveling, I have settled in Ireland with my partner Seán for the foreseeable future!

I still carry in my heart the many wonderful people, places and lessons I learned last year while traveling. If I were to go back, I would do it all over again.

Now I’m embracing a new pace of life, settled in peaceful Ireland in between the blue Irish Sea and the green forests of the Wicklow Mountains. I’m excited for the new memories and stories I get to write in this new chapter of my life! ☘️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is my passion. I’m took a gap year from work and life in Costa Rica in 2023- 2024 to travel the world, meet wonderful people, exchange cultures and make unforgettable memories. The experience and the people I met on my travels changed my life! 🫶🏽
