Hello! I am Andrea, I am a Costa Rican who lived in Seoul, South Korea. For almost 4 years. There I studied and worked for some time.

I like meeting people from different parts of the world who I can chat and share information about my country, South Korea, or different countries I have traveled. I´m looking forward to meeting new people, maybe share a couple of drinks and a nice conversation!

When I travel I like to experience the local's daily life as much as possible. Local food, hidden (gems) places, etc

I love Postcards!!! I have already gotten from Finland, The Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Korea, USA, China and some other places :D Here is my Postcrossing ID in case you happen to have one too:

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think this is a great community with people who like traveling and with whom it is possible to have first-hand information about their country, tips, etc. Also when you travel alone you sometimes need someone to enjoy a meal or just someone to talk with for a while :)

Whenever I have the chance to meet a foreigner in my country, or wherever I can be a host, I try to show him/her the best "hidden gems" that I have found around, always enjoy nice talk and share life experiences.

兴趣

I love traveling, eating special dishes from different places (especially desserts), discovering new and interesting touristic and common places where locals spend their time and have fun.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Well, first of all, we can share a nice talk, a cup of coffee or tea, share one of the most valuable things in the world which is "Time". But also I can share some snacks from Costa Rica, South Korea, or any country that I have traveled lately. As well as information about Latin America, and traveling there.
