I'm Edison Garcés Cartes (25), a guy from Chile who moved out to Oslo, Norway, for an exchange academic program in 2018.

I used CS first time there and now I'm willing to continue in my country. The reason: I truly got interested in the chance of cultural exchange that Couchsurfing gives you.

I studied Law and I really love History and learning about other’s experiences.

Dogs, plants and nature lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because is the best way to truly learn how local people live, and likewise to grasp their customs and culture.

It wouldn't be the same sleeping in a hostel or similars, would it?
