Hi There! My name is Peder and I am from Seattle, U.S.A. My passions include running, reading, traveling, and watching movies. I'm an open minded person who loves to travel and experience new cultures. I would describe myself as a calm and open minded person who is very down to earth. I love meeting new people and making friends from around the world. Every day I search for new adventures or crazy activities, since I dislike being a traditional tourist and engaging in the same sightseeing as everyone else. I speak Spanish and English fluently, and have been to over 55 countries.

Tambien hablo español!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing to connect with others and learn about new cultures! I want to stray from the beaten path and see countries through the eyes of a local instead of another tourist.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise to be an entertaining guest who makes the most of the generous hospitality you've offered me. I will share with you stories of my experiences and adventures abroad, and a willingness to try new foods or opportunities I am not a picky guest in anyway, and am grateful for any opportunity a host offers me to stay at his or her home.
