ABOUT ME

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6912217

Hey everyone! I´m Ken, a backpacker from the States spending some time wandering around South America. I´ve made it through Argentina and Bolivia over the past 3 months, just arrived in Peru and Im loving it so far!

I travel solo, so Im always looking to meet new people - locals, other travelers, anyone who wants to hang out and have a good time while Im passing through

I love culture - art, music, architecture, and most of all, people. I am always up to have a beer, check out the city, dance to some music, go for a hike, whatever :)

PHILOSOPHY

We are all one. Boundaries are illusions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently backpacking solo around South America - looking for friendly hosts to hang with, dance with, share some good times and perhaps let me crash for a night or two :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve attended many couchsurfing meetings, made many friends, and have surfed twice. So far, every experience has been very positive.
