Both my girlfriend (Esmeralda) and I left our jobs in Amsterdam to pursue our dream: to go on a year long journey throughout the world. This has brought us to the most wonderful places in Latin America, from small villages in the Andes mountains to the craziness of Mexico City. Now it's time to get to know another region of the world: Turkey and Iran!

This is our first time using Couchsurfing however we have visited their meet ups in Amsterdam before.

We have used Airbnb extensively throughout our travels. Please feel free to check out our reviews on Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/693375
