After we both graduated, we wanted to see more of the world. But one small thing was missing, we had not enough money... We decided to work for a year and save money in order to follow our dream!

With a predilection for hiking and camping in the mountains, we decided to travel along the Andes mountain range in South America. But first, Canada! As this is a lifelong dream of Marijke, we decided to start there and then continue our journey to the Andes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During our previous holidays we often went hiking in the mountains and sleeping in mountain huts. One of the great things about these huts is meeting people and talking about their adventures over the taste of a nice meal and with the heat of a fireplace. We think that with couchsurfing we can do just that, but than with the cosiness of local people and their houses!
