Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling as light and simple as I can and looking for the way to connect with every place I visit as much as possible. Couchsurfing represents a great way to do so.
I have not hosted officially since I've have not lived by myself for long but when I have, I recieved lots of friends at home, some of them who hosted me via CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting weavers all over Latin America and being able to share stories with them.

Paragliding in Mendoza, the Andes at my feet.

Spending 9 hours at Machu Picchu amazed by it's energy.

Arriving to Purmamarca, Argentina by night and waking up next to the "Cerro de los 7 colores". Impressive! Absolutely amazing.

Finding myself completely alone in the Salinas Grandes(also y northern Argentina) for about half an hour.

Barcelona's mediterranean sea and all it's wonderful architecture. Sacred Family church is breathtaking. Could stay in there for hours.
