Hey there! my name is Marcela, very extroverted Costarican girl, fighting the peterpan syndrome and i think i might be losing :).

Born and raised in Costa Rica and never traveled a lot, but lately i´ve had the opportunity to meet awesome people from all over the world, and i´m not planning to stop doing that.

I love to learn about different cultures. Love talking about all kinds of stuff and really open to knowing new places/people. I´ve been studying and working really hard for a few years in order to take some time just to enjoy life, and realized that knowing people and places is the best way of living.
I once heard that when you leave this world you take what you have eaten, drunk and danced, truly believe that.
I´m very geek and love intellectual discussions, recently became and engineer, love food, cooking and eating.

I love being surrounded by people with dinner and good beer, but I also enjoy solitude.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m hoping to meet new people and live the real experiences of every place with different eyes, not only through tourist eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave everything behind in Costa Rica and take all the chances of becoming someone in Germany, where once I climbed a church to watch the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of useless facts, but they are great ice breakers. From the fact that dragonflies can't walk, they just fly. To how the NASA capsules to come back to earth are still in russian.
