Hello,
My name is Jules and I am currently travelling central America my girlfriend Clara. We are both 29 years old and we love to discover new places, new people and new cultures. I used couch surfing before while traveling in Indonesia and it allowed me to meet people in a way that was just not possible while traveling in hostels. I hope to renew the experience here in Mexico and Guatemala.
Unfortunately I am not yet fluent in Spanish, but I am eager to learn and improve drastically during the 4 months we have in Central America! Clara speaks very well Spanish, she learned while travelling in Columbia and Ecuador.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy traveling. I feel like couchsurfing is a really good alternative to traditional travel in hostels and hotels. I like meeting new people, so hotels is not really my thing, especially not for this trip. Hostels are a lot of fun and it is easy to meet other backpackers, but I feel like Couchsurfing can give a more authentic experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled with 2 friends through Japan and it was an amazing trip. The culture was so different from European culture and the people so nice. We visited a lot of places and attractions, but my favorite moment has to be meeting Japonese people and party with them until 5 am in a Karaoke bar. A true taste of Japan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beer, a chat, an activity, ... anything that allow us to share our respective experiences and culture. I love meeting people that live in the place I am visiting as it is the best way to trully experience the culture and life of that country.
