About Me

Peaceful, nature-lover, sportive, science geek.

"Not all those who wander are lost" - Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In Costa Rica, we have an expression "Pata caliente" – meaning someone who likes to travel and be out and about.

Also the fact that there's no better way to get to truly find of a place than by people who have already wandered around.

I would love to also accept guests, but I live with another 5 wonderful people, so the house is a bit full.

Interests

Some of my favorite things in life are: live music, percussion, yoga, dancing, traveling & meeting people from all over, politics and history, hiking, good conversations, wine, science and food (as a universal language).

I'm particularly interested in potential for the global south's sustainable development and enjoy discussions from controversial to philosophical topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: reggae, afrobeat, latin-funk, latin-jazz, salsa, rap and hiphop.
All time favorites: Fela Kuti, Steel Pulse, Fito Paez, Anita Tijoux, Parliament.
Lastest discoveries that blew my mind: No-maddz (Jamaica) Meta & the Cornerstone (Senegal).

MOVIES: haven't actually been catching up with cinema. Spent my free time discovering percussion sounds and being out-doors. Not to say that I don't love the art form, just to mention some movies that were insanely though-provoking: Waking Life & La Piel que Habito.

BOOKS: im going with all time favorites: Siddhartha (Hess), Historias de Cronopios y de Famas (Cortazár) & short story "A medida que nos vamos conociendo (Alí Víquez)"
