About Me

Soccer is my passion. Or "football" if someone from Europe is reading. I graduated from High School in December 2012 and moved to the United States to play in college. Moved to Iowa when I was 18, lived there for year and a half and played NAIA. Now I will be moving to Florida to play D1 soccer.
Brother of two older sisters and a young brother. Studied Sports Science for almost two years, then I changed to Marketing. However, I am looking to be a professional soccer player and a coach after. I honestly feel like CouchSurfing is a great idea for people like us who treasure the possibility of traveling.
PS: Costa Rica is ranked as the happiest country in the world. And Top20 Must Visit Countries in the World. Both actual facts.

Después de graduarme del colegio, fui a Estados Unidos para jugar futbol en una Universidad en Iowa. Jugué ahí dos temporadas, donde fui capitán y goleador. Decidí irme por varias razones, y meses despues fui reclutado por una universidad en Florida. Donde voy a estudiar Marketing. Sueño con ser futbolista profesional y entrenador después de eso. Honestamente pienso que CoachSurfing es una excelente idea para los que amamos viajar y visitar lugares diferentes.
Bienvenido(a) a Costa Rica.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My life in the U.S. as an international student teaches me that traveling is probably one of the best things you can do with your life. But, we all know that money is an issue. And housing&transportation is the most delicate thing to worry about when traveling. So believe me when I say that I understand the struggle. That is why I signed up for CouchSurfing, to help those who want to travel and get to know something different in the world, wherever you are from. And of course, being able to find somebody when it's my turn to get on the road.

Mi vida en Estados Unidos me enseñó que viajar, y conocer personas y culturas nuevas es de lo mejor que podés hacer, pero todos sabemos que la plata es un problema. Transporte y hospedaje son los temas más delicados a tomar en cuenta cuando tomas la iniciativa de viajar –a donde sea- entonces creeme que yo entiendo muy bien lo duro que puede ser planear un viaje. Por eso quiero ayudarte, me inscribí a CouchSurfing porque me gusta que hablen bien de mi país y cultura, de donde sea que seas. Siempre digo que cuando uno viaja, uno deja ese lugar teniendo un hogar y una familia en otro lugar del mundo.

Interests

Real Madrid, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Liga Deportiva Alajuelense & COSTA RICA.
Traveling: currently planning on flying to Europe before graduating from college and going to Euro2016 in France. Or any road trip to get out of the ordinary would be fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting my life over, by myself in a different country. Speaking a different language and becoming team's captain and leading scorer in a university in the United States. Getting out of my comfort zone.

Probablemente mi mayor logro ha sido dejar Costa Rica para irme solo a Estados Unidos, sin familiares o amigos, y empezar de cero. Sobreponerme a diferentes pruebas que Dios me puso en el camino, tener que lidiar con personas y experiencias muy duras y haber crecido mucho.
