Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by opening up my home and local knowledge to visiting travelers as a way of cultural exchange and meeting new people from around the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My most memorable couchsurfing experience came while I was traveling through Ecuador at the beginnings of my latest trip through South America. Through a mutual friend I was invited to stay at a friend's family's house in Guayaquil. When I got there the whole family was so generous, hospitable and did so much for me that I'll never forget the generous and trusting nature of people.

Interests

playing slide guitar, meeting new people, absorbing in as much music as I can, going to see concerts, cooking, taking photographs, learning about the world, practicing languages and cultural exchange.
