[EN] I am a gay boy from the US, currently living in San José, Costa Rica, as a freelance architectural designer working remotely since 2019. I lived in France for 2 years, which changed my life. Then 8 years later, I quit my corporate architecture job, sold everything, and boarded a one-way flight to Costa Rica, where I now live with amazing friends. I am a chill, open-minded subversive and traveler seeking balance and good energy in life - half extrovert half introvert! Generally minimalist, polyamorous, vegetarian. I am looking for travel partners, so please write me if you want to travel together!
[FR]  Je suis un gars gay des États Unis qui vit actuellement à San José, Costa Rica, comme professeur d'anglais et architecte indépendante sans emplacement permanent depuis 2019. J'ai vécu 2 ans en France, ce qui m'a changé la vie. Puis 8 ans plus tard, j'ai quitté mon travail avec une agence d'architecture d'entreprise, j'ai tout vendu, et j'ai embarqué dans un vol aller pour le Costa Rica, là où je vis maintenant avec des amis magnifiques. Je suis un subversif ouvert d'esprit et relax, et un voyageur à la recherche de l’équilibre et de la bonne énergie. En général minimaliste, polyamoureux, végétarien. Je suis également à la recherche de compagnons de voyage, donc s'ils vous plaît écris moi si ça vous intéresse de voyager ensemble.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

[EN] I appreciate the value of travel, the chance to see yourself outside your own nationality, to envision your life outside a country of origin, and to develop the tools to navigate intercultural difference. I am looking to meet open-minded people who are curious to discover new things about themselves and about the world! I enjoy connecting with people who enjoy meditation, holistic activities, spiritual connection, and self discovery. I think it is important to build social systems like CS that give us the ability to create new networks for connecting with each other.

Centres d'intérêt

[EN] Language is beautiful to me, and I think somehow you gain a new soul when you learn a new language. I spend a lot of time listening to music and enjoy making playlists and sharing music with friends. I love electronic music, raves, dancing, and creative expression. I maintain a pescatarian diet and keep health and nutrition as normal daily pleasures, eating and cooking good food, walking, biking, and enjoying nature.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I decided to live abroad.
I decided to learn more languages.
I swam naked with a group of guys in a hot spring river, deep in the mountains of Iceland, watching the Northern Lights in pure darkness.
I celebrated *someone else's* Independence Day (in France and Chile).
I experienced the kindness of strangers in northern Morocco, who stopped on the side of the road in the mountains at night to help me after my car got stuck.
I had an out-of-body experience. *o*
