Hello there! I am from Costa Rica, studying Engineering in Brazil at the University of São Paulo.

I just came back from a great experience working for an international students NGO based in Brussels, Belgium related to support entrepreneurial education in young people all across the world.

I really like to meet new people and learn a lot about their cultures, ideas and also show them everything from where I come from, the paradise of Costa Rica.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think of Couchsurfing as an amazing way of really get to know the places you are visiting, you have the opportunity to share with great people and learn new things that will help you a lot in your life. During the last 2 years, I had the chance to meet people from all over the world and each interaction keeps me amazed at how deeply humans are connected.

Interests

I am passionate about futurism, shared economy, new technologies, sports (I practice triathlon), international and sustainable development, global connections and always improving my cooking and laguages skills.
