Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It's a nice chance to connect with locals, and experience the places I’m visiting in a more meaningful way. Plus, I love having visitors—whether it’s for a coffee, an afternoon or hosting at my place.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitch-hiked by canoe on the Maroni river, which forms the border between Suriname and French Guiana.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can help with the languages I speak or tips on traveling to countries I’ve visited. Recently I had the chance to show some Spanish guests around in a southern Moroccan city I’ve spent some time in. It was so much fun to introduce them to Moroccan cuisine and some live traditional music and performances (gnaoua and halka). At some points, their jaws actually dropped, and it was so cool to see things from their points of view. I look forward to having more experiences like this. Also,I really enjoy cooking, playing music or gardening together.
My Interests
