Hi there! 👋
My name is Ricardo but you can call me Richi,
I am 23 years old and I am originally from Guatemala city but I currently live in San Miguel Dueñas which is 20 minutes from Antigua Guatemala, I am a 3rd year marketing student, I work in a Call Center while I graduated from University.

I am an animal lover, I was the typical child in the class that everyone jumped to see a spider and I was the one who suffered so that they did not kill it and took it out of danger with my hand, I have had snakes, tarantulas, crabs, fish, turtles…The list would never end haha... But definitely the one who stole my heart is my 13 year old Schnauzer named Dolly, she means everything to me 🐾

I am a very sociable and friendly person, I have grown up in a family that has filled me with a lot of love ❤️ , so my family is very important to me. I love playing video games, specially Just Dance and Smash Bros, skating both on concrete and ice, traveling of course, getting to know new cultures and lifestyles. I also like cooking Guatemalan food (not so good at it but I enjoy cooking and small talking)
My sign is Cancer ♋️ and I consider myself a curious, emotional, friendly and open-minded person.
Everyone is welcome in my world 🏳️‍🌈

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in Couchsurfing because I am passionate about traveling and discovering the world from a local perspective. For me, the true essence of a place is found in its people, its customs and its stories. Couchsurfing allows me to live these experiences authentically as people are, while making international friends and sharing unique moments. Additionally, I like the idea of ​​being part of a global community that values ​​hospitality and cultural exchange. Also because when I get old I would like to tell my grandchildren that I have friends all over the world. 🌎
