I'm a Costa Rican living in Brazil since 2012. I spent a year in Salvador but later moved to Brasilia, which is where I've been ever since. As most couchsurfers, I love to travel and learn new languages (I'm fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English and I plan to learn French and German some time before I die). Let me know if you happen to be in Brasilia and need a place to stay or want someone to hang out with. I'd be down for some basic sightseeing and a cold beer. I may even join you on a trip to the waterfalls nearby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS experience began back in March, 2016, when I was desperate to find a place where to crash for a few days in Salvador, Bahia (Brazil). I got something that's much better and rarer than a couch: a seemingly endless source of friends and acquaintances with whom to hang out. Truth be told, CS has given me the opportunity to learn the true value of friendship; one of the most valuable treasures anyone could ever hope to find in life. That's why I've been a "couchsurfer" ever since.
