ABOUT ME

Although I have had very little money, I have not been afraid to work, and this is how I have traveled the world. I am living proof that if you really have a desire to do something just start doing it, and life will show you the way.

Esperanza grew up in a traditional Guatemalan village, with no road or electricity. She speaks 4 languages (2 Mayan dialects, Spanish and English). She loves music, martial arts and comedy. She adores children.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is Beautiful!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Livin the life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Prior to couchsurfing.org, I hitchhiked from Seattle to Florida, and slept on many a couch, usually paying my way by house cleaning or gardening. One time, when I was in the Bahamas,I helped a man build his house in exchange for food and shelter. In 2009 we met a very nice family through couchsurfing.org and traded baby sitting / housekeeping for a month. Because of them, we were able to travel from Florida to Oregon by bus so that Esperanza could see the country. And we just stayed with a family in Bogota, Colombia, while traveling in S. Am. Each time we stay with someone, we learn something new about ourselves and the world. What an amazing world!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went to Guatemala with $200, and lived there for 6 years, where I met my wonderful wife, and many people from around the world. I just went there on faith that I could work with massage and yoga, even though I had no guaranteed job.

教，学，和分享

I teach yoga and massage...can teach a bit of guitar, and would like to learn more. Can share a bit of herbal medicine and would like to learn martial arts.

We have pictures of our life in Guatemala, and Esperanza has many stories about life in a Mayan village.
