Uruguay, 2nd week of October
Argentina Mid October - early November
Chile, probably most of November

We're researching LGBT activist groups and would love you to host us on our journey! We can cook, clean and have 1001 stories to share :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed across China last year with a friend and wouldn't want to see South America any other way. It was by far the best way to meet the best people.

I'm a big believer in the economy and the philosophy of couchsurfing too: let's open our homes and ourselves up and let the world in - it costs nothing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stared into North Korea, wondered through the Hutongs of Beijing at night, swum in the Arctic Ocean in Reykjavik, driven the Chiang Mai-Pai mountain road on a motorbike, learned to SCUBA dive on coral reefs,

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I've had enough of "teaching" and "learning", let's share what we have instead. A story, a beer, a new experience?
