About Me

Current Mission :
To keep making friends all around the world!

ABOUT ME
I did not have an idea what to expect when I started in CS , after a while hosting people I realized that this is a great opportunity not only to meet people from other countries but to become a huge family.

We live in Buenos aires de Venecia at the bottom of the hills, is about an hour away from Arenal Volcanoand two and a hald hours way from San jose , in a family community : My parents, my sister and her husband , my brother and us. Everyonehas a articular role in the cs experience:
I am the link to cs
My sister and hubby : the ride to Ciudad Quesada
My mom : the host when I´m at work and the helper when the hosts are cooking ( she doesn´t speak english but she does her best)
My Dad : the garden tour
Max - Roy : Tour guides - planners:)
20 away from Termales del Bosque hot springs, an hour and a half away from La boca del Rio San Carlos , and an hour a away from La Paz Waterfall.

PHILOSOPHY

We are a big family who really enjoys travelling and wondering about places to go , we love barbecues and hanging out with friends and family. Want my girls to know about other places in the world.
