Hey whats up!

So Im Kian, backpacker from Sweden traveling around South America for a while.

Two things I enjoy with traveling is to familiarize myself to unfamiliar places and to connect and actually create friendships with people I meet. So far so good!

Few things are as satisfying as plunging into fresh and pure water on a hot (and humid) afternoon. Beatboxing is up there as well. Also catching waves when surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a way for me to travel cheaply and at the same time get better contact with the locals and the cities I am travelling to.

Interests

When you are in Argentina you learn to like Fernet with coke and mate. Don't worry. Just add more coke to the Fernet ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
