About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycling from Argentina to Canada

ABOUT ME

After some years of working, saving money and preparing, me and my boyfriend started our cycling trip starting in Argentina. For us cycling is a great way of traveling because of the independence and freedom it gives us. Being on the road we pass by everything slowly, which gives us the chance to get to know a lot about people and the countries they are living in, and we get to places not often (sometimes maybe never) visited by other tourists.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting several people during my time in Bergen (Norway), and all of them were great and interesting people. I have only been surfing once which was also a very good experience, and hope to do it more in the future.

Interests

Outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, mountaineering. All kinds of sports, especially basketball, skating, and sailing, but I also really like to try sports that are new to me and learn new things. For example during this trip we learned to dive in Honduras, which opened a whole new world!
Watching movies and reading books, although I usually don't have (or make) time for it. And of course traveling, get to know new cultures and people. And I also like to hang around with nice people without doing something special.
