Hello everybody ! I am new at couchsurfing, never used it before, but I heard it is the best way to meet new people when traveling, so here I am. I am french, and I have always traveled a lot. I have lived in Colombia for 6 months, and fell in love with South America. This is why I decided to go back, now that I have finished my studies. I will go by boat from Canary Islands (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) with my boyfriend, Vincent. We hope to catch a boat in October, and stay a few months in South America, where we will try to find nice projects (woofing, volunteering...). Vincent is 25 years old, he is a carpenter and a vegetable gardener. We both speak very well english and a bit of Spanish, and share the same passion for traveling and meeting local people while we do so.

For now, we are at the step of finding a boat from the Canary Islands. We will be spending the first week of September in Tenerife with friends, and then we will need to find a boat to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and from there another one to South America. We don't know how long it is going to take, but during this time we would really like to meet people there and keep practicing our Spanish skills.
