One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a child I have always dreamt of listening to the sound of a jungle sitting on a branch during a heavy rain. In order to realize this, I volunteered in The Peruvian Amazon,in Manu,. For 40 days , I observed macaws, butterflies, trees, soil. Slept in a hut without a door in the middle of the jungle with lots of mosquitos, cockroaches, botflies, snakes, monkeys, bats and other wild animals etc. Without electricity,internet or technology I kinda got an idea of how Shamans live and feel :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We learn while teaching and teach while learning. So this is a never-ending story. When couchsurfing, everyone has something either to teach, learn or share. This is awesome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my travelling and volunteering experiences. Don't worry I am not a boring traveller or a speaker. (At least people have never called me boring :) ) I can cook for my hosts as I have learned quite a few different dishes while travelling .
