ABOUT ME

I have spent the last eighteen months living in Costa Rica as a Rotary ambassador of peace, working on a Masters in Family Violence and Gender Studies at the Universidad Nacional in Heredia. My goal is to have as much fun as I can every single day. I am always looking for experiences and friendships that expand my capacity for compassion and service, whether it be spending time in silent communion with my Vipassana buddies, working on peace in NVC practice groups, getting limber with yoga peeps, and of course, sharing much joy with all beings that I encounter on any and all dance floors.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance it off Jo'Jessica!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

More hosting than surfing lately, but its always good to serve! It takes two to surf ; )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Mexico, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, and now that I am living in Heredia, we have been hosting occasionally. I love the stories that people bring with them, although it makes me want to sell all of my stuff again and hit the road with them!
