About Me

I am a smily young man, who enjoy´s going into the nature and discover new places as much as posible, i like the adventure, walking, hiking, swimming, and spending a wonderful time with friends or myself meanwhile. I like going out for a beer, a movie, or to watch a soccer game, i consider myself a very flexible and openminded person, as i can enjoy playing videogames, doing exercise, or camping in the middle of a forest without any electricity. I can be fun and risky, or shy and thoughtful sometimes. I love sharing experiences with others, learn from them and help as much as i can, having a fun time, doing something crazy, or just being a quiet company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well i have two main reasons to be on Couchsurfing:
The first one is to meet people from all over the world and help them to travel as it should be, without overpaying for everything and having bad advises from folks are only interested in money, and i also love meeting these people, knowing where they come from and having a fun time with them.
On second place, i am right now backpacking Europe and North-Africa, and i would love to meet beatiful places, but also their people, culture, and the way they live and think.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any kind of music, i usually listen to spanish music, rock, reggae, ska, others (:

I love fantasy movies and books (not the best reader), the lord of the rings, star wars, etc. I also like deep movies that makes you think and question things you haven´t before, or enjoy life even more you do now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cannot be more grateful with life for giving me many different and wonderful experiences during my life, being a swimmer in Costa Rica National Team as a teenager was something unforgetable, i made friends from differents parts of Costa Rica and visited some countries to represent my country, which opened my mind and gave me a lot of actitutes which i still appreciating.

After university, i also had the opportunity to do a volutering work with Raleigh Intenarional, a British organization, where a met a group of amazing people from different countries (Costa Rica, Nicaragua and United Kindom) and living in a very diferent way of life i did before, without water and electricity for a few months. After a few years i did other program with Raleigh where i did a 20 days Trek in Nicaragua, which was one of the best thing i have ever done in my live.

Finally i am backpacking Europe and North-Africa, which was my dream for many years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to share with people my experiences, everything about the place where i come from and the places i have visited, algo about things i enjoy and even my deepest thoughts, i also can share everything i know about traveling in Costa Rica, due to i have traveled as much as posible in the country i come from.
On other side i am open to learn everything i can from others, so feel free to share with me any adventures or thoughts about anything.
