I'm 19, from Cambridge England and travelling for 6 months with my friend Will! We've been to Nepal, Australia, New Zealand and are now going through South America for 3 months, finishing with the Inca Trail in Peru in July. When we get to England I'm going to Leeds University to study Psychology. Will is almost fluent in Spanish and I learnt it for 5 years so can speak basic Spanish, but we would both love to improve.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're travelling on a budget and this seems like the perfect opportunity to save a bit of money and meet more people! Especially people from South America would be able to advise us so much better than other tourists.

Paraglided over Phewa Lake in Nepal

Sandboarded in the Atacama Desert and floated in Laguna Cejar in San Pedr

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd love to share travelling experiences with others and definitely get advice on the best places to visit all over South America! We don't have a specific schedule so are flexible and very keen to see as much as we can. Will would be able to teach English with his Spanish, and we would both love to learn more Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts
