About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life. Travel with purpose. Take it all in. Have a blast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hoping to provide a unique couch surfing experience through BaseCamp International Centers. We allow travelers to connect and hang out with volunteers who are currently living and working in Ecuador. We try to make our house as culturally authentic as possible, and often organize house activities, city tours and weekend trips to great places!

We also have houses in 6 other countries! If anyone is traveling in Nepal, Peru, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ghana or Tanzania please email me for more information about the BaseCamp Centers in each country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think its great! It's so cool to be part of a network of trustworthy and really fun people. I can't wait to surf a few couches on my future travels!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can learn a lot from each other. BaseCamp allows like-minded people to share experiences, struggles and accomplishments of living and traveling in the developing world.

One piece of advice: Interact with the locals in any country you're traveling in. You'll be amazed at all the insider info you can gather - from political viewpoints to the best bar in town!
