My name is Jon Bethell and I currently live on Vancouver island in western Canada. I have been at university for the last 3 years studying sports and recreation while also playing university basketball. I have decided to take a year off and explore the world. I am a very outgoing person that loves the outdoors and exploring new areas of the world. I am very excited for my new adventure to Portugal and Germany and can wait for new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a local perspective on there cities and also inter grating myself in each of there culture. I love meeting new people with different culture background and perspectives on life. Surfing is in my opinion the best way to travel because you are meeting others with the same interest which is travel!!!
