Hola!

My name is Nathan. I am a 29 year old American who is doing whatever I can, for as long as I can in order to see the world. I am currently living in Medellin, Colombia. This is more of a "home base" as I make my way traveling around South America.

Previously I have lived in Seoul, South Korea where I worked as an English teacher. I have traveled and backpacked all around Asia and SE Asia. Unfortunately I have never couchsurfed. I have a ton of friends who have and I am stoked to start trying this out. Hopefully my references will be enough credibility for you to open your home to me.

I love to exercise (run, swim, play basketball, bike, hike, climb), travel, cook, read and genuinely meet new people. I have traveled enough to recognize a tourist trap and know that every traveling experience I have had has been made better by meeting local people,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling south from Medellin to Patagonia and I want to truly hitchhike/couchsurf and throw myself out into this trip. I want to take what comes and see where the road leads from there. I have no plan. I am hoping that meeting some awesome people through couchsurfing will give me experiences I could have never dreamed of.

I am also broke and Patagonia is expensive so....
