This is a joint account for myself and my fiancee, Alejandra. We are getting married in 2018 and prior to doing so are taking a leave from our jobs in Vancouver and taking a multi-month trip through Europe which we've been wanting to do for some time. Looking to meet up with locals in the various countries we plan on visiting to help enrich the experience.

We are both fluent in Spanish, and can also get along in French if you're patient and willing to help us learn more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting and learning from new people. Travelling has been one of the best things we have done, but it shoudn't cost a fortune to do it. Our best experiences while travelling have always been when we've lived with, visited, or met locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of our favorite travel experiences was volunteering in Patagonia for three weeks in 2015. We worked for Conservacion Patagonica to assist in creating a new national park in southern Chile out by restoring overgrazed ranchlands. We camped in the backcountry with a group of other volunteers and worked to tear down old fences to facilitate wildlife movement, as well as control invasive species. It combined travel, camping, meeting new people, and working for a worthwhile cause, so it was really the perfect experience and one of the best vacations we've had.
