CURRENT MISSION

Travelling by bicycle through the world with my partner Charlotte!

ABOUT ME

Work and travel has been my life decision for the last few years, here is my story:
After University i went to Canada for a 2 months trip including a international camp for scouts with people from all around the world, mental! Following that i travel to work for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida in a CRP cultural representative program where i worked in the Mexican Pavilion at Epcot and had a blast. After that i got an internship in Santiago de Chile in a business intelligence company. Following that i travelled to China to work as Guest Relations Officer in a 5 star hotel in the same city where Alibaba (China´s Google) has their HQ. Later i did a working holiday visa in New Zealand where I worked in a hotel in Auckland and in a lodge which was inside a National Park in a fiord, Milford Sound. Epic

Then a working holiday visa in Chamonix, France, where i met a girl and now we are travelling in bicycle now!

I have a youtube channel as well! Where i like to share my experience and a few of my trips www.youtube.com/gandygyl

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting whenever I can and joining CS events in different places. If i cant host I offer to show around. I believe hospitality is quite important for the world to be more tolerant and inclusive.
I have host travelers from different countries when i was living in China. I would like to host when available and surf couches also. I tell surfers attractions and hot spots in the city and if i have time spend some quality time with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I´ve had a few opportunities to surf in different places like Canada, China, Japan and recently New Zealand. Definitely it makes the travel experience outstanding as you stay, share and get to know locals! Which for me is really important when i travel somewhere, as it is about the people not so much about the place.
