I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate in a Local Host program where Reach the World matched me up with Mario. He works with a company called Citibank in Escazú, which is just west of San Jose. I really enjoyed getting to meet him and learn about his life!
My full name is Mario Sauma.
I live in San José, in a small, two-story house. I have lived on and off in Costa Rica for about five years.
There's four of us in my immediate family. I have my mom, dad and sister. I also have lots of uncles, cousins and other family. My sister and I both live in Costa Rica right now, but my parents are living in Venezuela.
I have a car that I use to get around.
I pretty much wear the same type of business clothes every day for work. Other than that, I like to wear T-shirts and shorts. I really like the fact that, in Costa Rica, I don't have to wear winter clothes because the weather is always warm.
