Hi!

Thanks for visiting my profile.

My name's Esteban. I love meeting new people, learning new languages, cooking, and kayaking. I also enjoy rock climbing, hiking, and trying new food!

I just graduated from a small college in New Hampshire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being new to CouchSurfing, I've yet to grasp the potential of this network. I am excited to become a part of what many other members describe as a 'CouchSurfing family." Through CouchSurfing I hope to make friends and get to know a new culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I haven't CouchSurfed, I had the great opportunity to live with three Thai host families over a year as a Rotary Youth Ambassador. Staying for 4 months with each family really allowed me to become a member of the family and appreciate their lifestyle. When I arrived to Thailand I spoke no Thai. At first I could only communicate with my family with facial expressions and hand motions. Eventually I learned the language and by the time I left Thailand, I truly felt a part of the family.
