COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started to participate in CS when I came for working in Guelph, Canada last year.

I've been in many local CS reunions, including frisbee/soccer games, potlucks, restaurant and club activities every now and then ever since.

I've couchsurfed in Canada while I was living in Ontario, but also in Vancouver and the US while I was backpacking. Went road tripping with 3 other couchsurfers, starting from Vegas to Utah and Grand Canyon back to Vegas for 4 days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canoeing Algonquin Provincial Park (Canada) on Autumn, is so wonderful on this season because the leaves have different colors on the trees (green, brown, yellowish, orange and red). Check out my video in youtube clic here!

Hiking the Huayhuash Circuit (Peru) for 9 days, a distance of about 150km, camping over 4000 meters high which meant walking up and down the mountains every single day going over pass over pass :) The 8th day climbed a mountain called Diablo Mudo, full of snow at the top, up to 5250 meters high. I saw many unique breathtaking scenarios and wildlife around like viscachas, fox, goats, cows, birds and lambs.

Solo Backpacking through Western Canada and Western US, visted 7 cities and 5 national parks. It took a 2days and 10hours bus ride and made it to Calgary from Ontario. Met up csfers in Nevada and went road tripping to Utah and Arizona to finally spend a night at Vegas, I missed my return flight but got it sorted out!

Teach, Learn, Share

Food is something very important in my country, and we are lucky of having specially fresh, natural and healthy food. Ceviche is the most famous and my favorite seafood dish.

While I couchsurf I can teach some spanish and the basics of salsa dancing.

I would like to hear from your travels!
