If you can't text me over here, do it over Instagram: @marianoandmariel We just got back from a long trip through Central America and Mexico. Iโ€™m Mariel, a longtime Couchsurfing enthusiast and one of the pioneers of the community. This is my family. For the past 10 years, my husband and I have been traveling the world, and weโ€™ve now visited 60 countries, always looking for real connections, different cultures, nature, and deep conversations. We both work remotely, which allows us to combine work and travel. We prefer taking the local paths rather than following the typical tourist routes. For the past two years, though, weโ€™ve been living a more settled and peaceful life in Merlo, San Luis, surrounded by mountains and streams. We still love traveling and discovering new places, but weโ€™ve also learned to appreciate having a home and a slower pace of life. Since we work online and spend quite a bit of time at home, we especially enjoy hosting travelers who are passing through and genuinely excited to explore Merlo and the surrounding area. Weโ€™re happy to share our home and our local knowledge with people who are curious, independent, and eager to get out and experience the place.

CURRENT MISSION Mi compaรฑera de vida y de viaje es mi esposa Mariel, que tambiรฉn tiene perfil aquรญ (http://couchsurfing.com/people/maolivera) y, de hecho, nos conocimos en un evento de esta hermosa red en Buenos Aires hace ya mรกs de 11 aรฑos. Juntos viajamos y trabajamos por el mundo desde el 2016: estuvimos 2 aรฑos en movimiento por Sudamรฉrica y 2 por Europa, un aรฑo quietos por el COVID (como gran parte del mundo), un aรฑo viajando por Argentina en un auto que vendimos para seguir el nomadismo. En nuestro รบltimo viaje estuvimos recorriendo Asia por un aรฑo y medio, pero ya estamos de vuelta en Argentina, alojando viajeros en nuestra casa en Merlo, San Luis :) Por cierto, preferimos alojar a viajeros que tambiรฉn hayan alojado, ya que consideramos que es importante devolverle a la red lo que uno recibe. --- My life and travel partner is my wife Mariel, who also has a profile here (http://couchsurfing.com/people/maolivera) and, in fact, we met at an event of this beautiful network in Buenos Aires more than 9 years ago. Together we have been traveling and working around the world since 2016: we spent 2 years on the move in South America and 2 in Europe, a year still for COVID (like most of the world), a year traveling through Argentina in a car that we sold to continue our nomad life. On our last trip we were traveling through Asia for a year and a half, but we are now back in Argentina, with our own house where we are hosting travelers again :D By the way, we prefer to host travelers who also hosted before, as we consider it important to return at least part of what you receive in this network. ABOUT ME Es difรญcil describirme. Creo que una buena manera de que puedan saber acerca de mรญ es leyendo las referencias que me han dejado en el perfil de CS. Es evidente que me apasiona viajar y aprender de historia y de otras culturas siempre a travรฉs del contacto con la gente local, en ese sentido CS es ideal. Me encanta cocinar y comer y parte de la experiencia de viaje es experimentar la gastronomรญa local. Una buena parte de lo vivido en ese viaje y muchas cosas mรกs estรก en mi blog de viajes (en espaรฑol): http://elgranviaje.com.ar. No se actualiza hace mucho tiempo, pero tiene muchos artรญculos que pueden visitar :) Ademรกs, tenemos varios meses de viaje en nuestro canal de YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/marianoymariel. --- It is difficult to describe me. I think a good way to let you know about me is to read the references that have left me on the CS profile. It is evident that I am passionate about traveling and learning about history and other cultures always through contact with local people, in that sense CS is ideal. I love cooking and eating and part of the travel experience is to experience the local cuisine. A good part of what I experienced on that trip and much more is in my travel blog (in Spanish): http://elgranviaje.com.ar. Although I haven't published something there for a long time, I invite you to visit it :) Besides, we have many videos on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/marianoymariel. PHILOSOPHY Disfrutar cada momento de esta vida, siendo fiel a mis sentimientos y viviendo el presente al mรกximo! --- Enjoy every moment of this life, being loyal to my feelings living always for today!
