*********************

Hey there! I’m Andres, and I live in San Francisco with my wife, Helena, and our dog, Wendy. I’m a laid-back person who enjoys life with joy and peace, always looking for interesting people to surround myself with. I love starting my day with a good cup of coffee and enjoy activities like biking, hiking, going to the beach, dancing salsa, reading a book while rubbing my dog's belly, and of course, traveling whenever possible

Helena and I are like-minded and share most activities together. We are vegetarians (we are totally fine if you’re not). We both speak English and Spanish, I also speak Portuguese and am re-learning Italian, while she speaks Mandarin and Cantonese. We’re atheists, though we’re happy to host people of any faith, as long as there’s mutual respect. We’ve turned our garage into a cozy mini-theater, where we enjoy watching movies, series, anime, documentaries, and trash TV after a long day of work when we just want to turn our brains off and relax.

Our dog, Wendy, is a bit shy at first but incredibly affectionate once she gets comfortable. She’s calm, sweet, and loves to snuggle, especially after she’s warmed up to new people.

If you want to know a little bit more about me, you can read some of the references people left.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because it has introduced me to a vibrant world beyond my usual experiences and connected me with amazing people. Whether I'm hosting or couch-surfing, my primary motivation for being on this platform is to connect with new people and forge lasting friendships.
