Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have both hosted and surfed but am currently on a nearly year long trip in South America as such I am happy to meet for a beer or coffee or surf some couches deep diving into the real local life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been a while since I participated in Couchsurfing but after having just returned from an amazing experience surfing (with another travellers account) in the middle of a Mennonite community in el Chaco in Paraguay I decided to get back at it :)

Interests

I love the mountains and hiking, the outside and the nature.
I am also a big fan of going for a couple of beers, meeting people and sharing stories.
