I am a creative person. I love sharing with other artists. My hobbies circle around music; art in general. I love to sing late at night at the piano bars.
I love to share and give. I found cooking to be a passion for me, so expect great meals!
I also like animals so some exceptions could be made for pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope I can help other people, tourists and even future friends, during their life adventures. I want to offer a chance to the people who are traveling and need a place to stay or to be supported. I believe in the sharing economy system. I want to also be able to receive in return the opportunity of using the service whenever I'm in need. I want to go beyond the renting model bing used today. I love sharing directly with people of the town, city. This really makes me want to travel.

I love to learn from other cultures like their cooking, legends and stories which carry deep messages. I would love to share my country's stories too!

I can share with my hosts the knowledge I have about my country Costa Rica, and about the city I live in, Paris. It's well known places, it's local food, etc.
