CURRENT MISSION
Breathe in the richness of life
ABOUT ME
I work for a non-profit in Nicaragua, where I have been living for the last six years. I love the simultaneous intensity and simplicity of living in my adopted city of Leon. The realness of life hits you when every day you are surround by intense sights, smells, noises and a ridiculously hot climate with no air conditioning. :)
PHILOSOPHY
"Porque nadie puede saber por ti. Nadie puede crecer por ti. Nadie puede buscar por ti. Nadie puede hacer por ti lo que tú mismo debes hacer. La existencia no admite representantes."
Jorge Bucay.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I became involved in the couchsurfing community through study abroad in Spain and traveling around Europe and Central America. I have met a lot fun and interesting people through CS. I have surfed couches, hosted people and just met up for a drink or coffee. it is a great community.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Every experience I have had with CS has been wonderful. I think it is a fantastic idea and a great way to really get to know people from all over!
