Hi, I am Mariana from Venezuela. I've been living in Costa Rica since 2010; I used to live in SJ area, but i decided to move to Monteverde almost a year ago. I love hiking, nature, animals, music, and art in all forms. Traveling is something I do when I can. I am a respectful person, open minded, and I like living in the forest a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I wanna meet people from everywhere and learn about their culture and traditions and help them to have the best travel experience ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to different kinds of music all the time, but I usually listen to trip hop, electronic music, opera, and blues.
I enjoy watching movies like Amelie, Pulp Fiction, Coco, American Beauty, etc.
My favorite books are Como agua para chocolate, 100 años de soledad, Pedro Paramo and Amor en tiempos de Colera. I also like to read about art, philosophy, and history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of the Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala and watched from there the eruption of the near by Fire Volcano.
