I am a tica (Costa Rican girl) from the United States. Currently living my "quarter life crisis" in Europe. I am teaching english when I can, volunteering, and looking to go back to school for my Masters degree in Psychology. I also work remotely now which gives me even more opportunity to travel when I want! Living the dream I'd say.

I enjoy being active; you won't find me lying around very often. I enjoy hiking; am definitely a mountain over the sea kind of person. I have also found a love for practicing yoga.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favorite books is the one I am reading right now. It is 'De La Codependencia a La Libertad - Cara a cara con el miedo'. It is my first book I am reading in Spanish so I am very proud of myself but I have also learned so much about myself through this book I highly recommend it.

I enjoy all music really. I mean it! Even Country! If I had to choose my favorite it would have to be indie rock like The Lumineers . But I also really enjoy Latin music. I like to dance salsa and bachata.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing solo to the highest peak of Costa Rica and back in one day

Getting lost in El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico with no food (fucking all trails app lol)

The happiness of living with less 😁

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn more about your traditions, language, way of life. I find other people so interesting and am very open minded.

Tell me your favorite things in town! I’m a big foodie too. If you read, please recommend me books. I am always looking for recommendations. It also helps me get to know a person by knowing their favorite books.

I can help you with practicing English 😁

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills! I love to cook.

I can also share my perspective on psychology and holistic approaches to mental health.

We can also make spontaneous memories together. I like trying new things and adventuring.

I am sorry that I cannot host during this time as I don't have a permanent home/ living address at this point in my life. When I do, I will be happy to host others from around the world whether I settle here in Spain, Costa Rica or the U.S
