Hi, I’m Mardeys! I’m from El Salvador and recently moved back after 10 amazing years abroad—8 in Moscow and 2 traveling. Now, I’m enjoying a laid-back life working remotely and taking in the ocean views from my home on a hill in Tamanique, near El Tunco, El Sunzal, and other beautiful spots.

I love connecting with people, sharing stories, and showing others the beauty of my country.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I’ve always loved using Couchsurfing to meet new people while traveling, and now that I’m settled, I’d love to keep connecting with travelers. I’m here to help you explore and discover all the hidden gems of this small but incredible paradise I call home.

Música, películas y libros

I'm a music lover with an open ear, always excited to discover new tunes, especially if they're local flavors. As for movies, I'm all about the charm of old romcoms, indie films, I love Wong Kar Wai. But hey, I'm not immune to the allure of blockbuster hits like Marvel, LOTR, and Star Wars either! When it comes to books, you'll often find me immersed in the works of Latin American authors like Alejandro Zambra, Andres Caicedo, and Tamara Tenenbaum.

Algo increíble que he hecho

One incredible adventure I've had was crossing all of Russia, hiking through bear-filled mountains in Kamchatka, and getting up close with killer whales. Hard to believe, considering I've spent my whole life in sunny El Salvador on the other side of the same ocean!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach: Everything I know about my country.

Learn: I'm always eager to discover new music, cuisines, and hidden gems wherever I go, constantly seeking to expand my horizons.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share stories from my years living in Moscow and traveling the world, as well as insights into El Salvador’s culture and history.

While I appreciate the most popular tourist spots, I absolutely love exploring and discovering hidden gems and unique activities in every country I visit. I’m continuing to do the same here in El Salvador, so I can share advice on both the must-see attractions and alternative experiences. I try to visit new places during the week, so you’re more than welcome to join me on an adventure!
