About Me

I am a musician working in the music-tourist entertainment business. Music is my life and I love to travel doing what I love.
I play guitar, bass, drums, sing and I'm currently learning how to play piano. I have my solo project called Jimmy Loop Music where I play all the instruments and produce the music live (one man band show)

Here you can see and listen to my music

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in one of the most touristy areas of my country, so I have met people from many parts of the world who opened my eyes to travel and do what I love.

Since 2014 I started to help traveler to stay at my place and give them an idea how's the real life in Costa Rica, traditions, food, music and culture.

I studied Sustainable Rural Tourism, and I believe in the impact that tourism brings if we don´t do it properly

Interests

I'm a busy musician in Costa Rica, I play gigs almost every night.
So as part of my life style, I need to get new experiences and be motivated, so I decided to do what I do everday, but in diferent parts of the world.

I'm very interested in culture, history, anthropology, music, gastronomy and also, helping people to believe in their dreams, so I can make mine true.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, that's the first thing I think about when I wake up everday.
When I was a teenager I considered my self as a "Rocker", now I am more open-minded and I listen to a wide variety of music and I'm always learning from each style of music.
