Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whilst travelling through Central and South America over the next 18 months, I am looking for hosts who will generously put me up in their cities and introduce me to the real way of life of the locals, keeping me away from the typical tourist haunts. I am interested in learning about the cultural scenes of the places, including music, dance, cooking, drinking, art and crafts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Oaxaca in Mexico, Antigua in Guatemala, cali and pasto in colombia and quito and Cuenca in Ecuador. All were brilliant but different experiences, getting to know locals who showed me around their cities, introducing me to their friends and family and culture! We had some great nights and overall great stays. Also met up with some locals in granada, Nicaragua which was a great way to get to know the city, and they took me out to all the best places.
