Description

It is a pleasure to meet you, and I thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’m motivated by meaningful connections, especially with people who carry deep stories, traditions, and wisdom. I am a social scientist, and my research involves various communities. I’m committed to listening with respect and care to everyone's story if they are willing to share. I find joy in quiet mornings, shared meals, and learning from others—whether through conversation, laughter, or working side by side.

I’m happiest when I feel part of something purposeful, especially when it involves nature, community, and mutual support. I value honesty, kindness, and the chance to contribute in small but meaningful ways. Staying with a family while I do my research is not just practical—it’s a way to honour the heart of what I’m studying: how relationships shape place.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Language is the doorway to a culture; it provides meaning, history, and reveals how cultures are woven together. I can teach and have taught English. My goal is to become fluent in Spanish; therefore, I want to learn as much as possible.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I’m deeply connected to nature and have spent much of my life working in and around it—whether through research, gardening, or simply living close to the land. I find peace and purpose in outdoor tasks and don’t shy away from hard work, whether it’s physical labour, caretaking, or problem-solving.
I’ve managed residential properties and worked in manufacturing, so I’m comfortable with hands-on tasks, organizing spaces, and adapting to different routines. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, and assisting with daily tasks, and I’m happy to support families with children or elderly relatives, as well as all sorts of pets, from iguanas to dogs.
I bring a steady, respectful presence and a willingness to pitch in wherever I’m needed. Whether it’s tending a garden, preparing meals, or sharing stories, I show up with care, curiosity, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Autres infos...

I enjoy quiet evenings with a good book, especially stories that explore culture, history, or faith. I love walking in nature—whether it’s forest trails, coastal paths, or just tending a garden. I find peace in simple things: birdsong, fresh coffee, and meaningful conversation.
I’m not much for flashy entertainment, but I do enjoy board games that bring people together—like Uno, Scrabble, or anything that sparks laughter and connection. I also enjoy journaling, listening to music, and learning from others’ life experiences.
I value honesty, kindness, and a sense of purpose. I’m looking forward to sharing space respectfully and learning from the rhythms of daily life in Costa Rica.
