COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching the summit of mount Kilimanjaro at sunrise seeing the glacier in that light caused me one or two tears.
Diving with 10 foot manta rays in Indonesia was breathtaking in the true sense of the word.
Death road in La Paz, Bolivia with an accident on the bike 50 m before the end plus an accident with a truck who nearly felt into the jungle and caused a massive traffic jam, I had my plane 9h later...then my guide got the damn truck pulled out of the way with an excavator 2h before the plane, and we went fast as a lightning to the airport: flat tire...are you kidding me?!? I got the plane back to Europe on the minute, they were calling my name already!
Now, in Argentina, Patagonia was just amazing, hiking on the Perito Moreno glacier, seeing Fitz Roy, Ushuaia and Iguazu.
