I can be quiet and give others lots of space, or I can be lively and talkative and engage with others. All depends on what the occasion calls for. I have had many life-changing experiences and learned nothing lasts forever, or can be taken for granted, so I keep myself open to whatever life brings me and don´t sweat over small matters.
Once I am your friend, you can trust I am your friend. Once you lose me, you lose me. I believe in everyone until they prove me wrong, Sometimes I will go out of my way to make people comfortable and happy, and sometimes I just need some "me time". Generally I am a very easy person to be around, independent, respectful and polite. Not always the most talkative, as I won´t trepass unless you invite me in (and like to be treated that way as well), but certainly friendly and trustworthy, and always up for good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling South America and would like to make friends and go places outside the "tourist route", so I hope to get involved with locals, live as they do, and get to know alternative places.
