I'm a lover of life, which includes travel, food, friends, animals, mountains, oceans, jungles forests, films, books, music, poetry, thinking, hiking, swimming, basketball, pushing personal boundaries and lots of alone time. Too much alone time. I love to test my comfort zones to find out what I'm truly made of and I think I'm pretty close to the answer. Right now I'm traveling through South America until Christmas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to couch surfing and I've yet to stay with anyone so far. I hope to change that on this trip and possibly meet some interesting people, experience local cultures, and maybe even save a few bucks. I've been travelling the world for years and know plenty of other travelers that swear by couch surfing. Who wants to show me what all the fuss is about?
P.S. I'm new so I don't have any references. Take a chance on me?
