Hi! I'm Diego from Mexico. I love solo traveling, writing and swimming. When I was 17 I moved to Costa Rica to attend United World College (UWC), a network of international schools that promotes peace and a sustainable future by bringing together students from all over the world without looking at their ability to pay. Now, I attend New York University Abu Dhabi in the UAE, where I study Economics and Political Science. I'm always happy to make new friends, hang out, and learn from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
