Originally from the US, I have spent the last 30 years in Costa Rica working in the nonprofit and technology sectors. As a founder of a startup and an educator, I have been deeply involved in nurturing the tech community here. My life in Costa Rica has been a blend of business challenges and rich cultural exchanges. I love exploring new ideas and collaborating on projects that have a positive impact.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded individuals from around the world. I enjoy the opportunity to meet new people, learn from their experiences, and share the warmth of Costa Rican hospitality. Whether it's swapping stories over a home-cooked meal or exploring local dives together, I'm excited about the friendships and learning opportunities that Couchsurfing brings.

音乐、电影和书籍

I have eclectic tastes in music, enjoying everything from Alt '80s to Latin jazz. My favorite movies tend to be thought-provoking documentaries, classic cinema or, best of all, Sci Fi. As for books, I'm often found reading non-fiction, especially titles related to technology, psychology, and history.

教，学，和分享

I am always eager to teach others about digital transformation and the power of technology in solving real-world problems. I'm also keen to learn about other cultures, languages, and cooking styles. Sharing experiences, knowledge, and time with others is what I value most.
