Hey! I am Alan the Guatemalan. I like to travel, run, hike, learn languages, code and cook! I grew up in Guatemala but have lived in China and the United States. I like to have long conversations about life, science, love or anything new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new, adventurous people. I like to learn about new languages and culture. In general, I enjoy having a good time with adventurous and open minded people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked for 3 weeks in Southeast Asia at the age of 18!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, English or Chinese. Also, I can teach you coding if you are interested! This is truly a skill that I wish more people could know more about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wherever I go, I love to share my Guatemalan culture in the form of stories, cooking and small gifts.
