About Me

My girlfriend and I are travelling through South America for the next 6 months (she's also on couch surfing "Jana Rychnovsky"). We are both fun, easygoing people, who would love to chat and learn about your life and more about your country

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling on a budget and love to meet people so this is a perfect combination of the two

Interests

I love going on adventures to quiet beaches, beautiful mountains, and climbing, swimming, surfing wherever I can !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Sugar loaf mountain in Rio del Janeiro unguided and by complete luck meeting a couple with climbing ropes halfway up allowing me to make the final ascent ! Arriving at the top in a thunderstorm, lighting striking all around us and being stuck for 2 hours as the cable car was broken 😂
