CURRENT MISSION

Hearty, seasoned travelers with sleeping bags are my people. I have a simple place in the country, Colonia Morelos, which is best for those on push/pedal bikes or motos. If using the local bus it leaves every 2 hours from the San Juan de Dios market and takes about 40 minutes. There are frequent buses to La Esmeralda and then a 2 kilometer walk to my house. You will want and need more than a day or 2 .
If traveling by motorhome there is parking space and access to the house and outside patio.
You are welcome-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have lived with wall to wall mattresses, hosting people from all over the world. Life with my kids was a constant "happening"
Was a member of Servas International for many years before Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Think it's a wonderful idea. As a matter of fact, I heard about this in Slovakia when a couple told me they hitchhiked in their wedding clothes and CouchSurfed for their honeymoon.
Travelled all over the world with SERVAS, now Couchsurfing for 14 years (not for over 2 years during Covid)
You can take the bus out for a picnic in the patio.
