Hello

I am Mercedes from Heredia, Costa Rica, I love my country I believe it is a paradise and you have to go at least once in your life there.
I came to Europe two years ago and I loved it. The culture, the buildings, the food, the people and the amazing landscapes! Since then I am travelling as much as I can.

I started my PhD in Glasgow and now I am pretty busy, but I am always looking for trips (low budget) around the world.

I am a nature lover, easy going, very friendly and considerate. Love dogs and reading novels and of course study and work hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for meeting good people, discovering the culture, food, nice places.
I want to meet people's lifestyles, history, learn more and more!
