Back to Costa Rica // De vuelta en Casa

I´m a very friendly and super chill person. I believe you can learn something from everyone you meet. In Costa Rica we always say "Pura Vida" which means living stress free and enjoying the little and simple things in life and I try to keep living that way after being 4 years outside of CR.

I worked in Costa Rica as a Tour guide for some years and travelled some months in other countries. Then went to study International Tourism in Germany, lived for some months in Cusco and currently, I'm writing my thesis in Costa Rica and working as a Tour Guide again.

Usually I like going out, meeting with friends/ new people, nature, travelling, listening and discovering music (I listen to music pretty much the whole day) and learning new things. But I also enjoy just to chill and drink a cup of Costa rican coffee or mate with my friends or cook something together.

You can find me on Instagram if you want to know more about me:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and their cultures and see what I can learn from that. Maybe do a hike together or go for a beer/partying/ 420.
