To explore new places, meet new people and make connections that would be impossible otherwise. I have stayed with hosts in Guatemala and Honduras and hosted someone here in Hyères (but on my boyfriend’s account- which is why mine looks so empty currently). I have remained in contact with everyone and even had the chance to reunite with our friend Hèctor in London. Couch surfing has been such a special experience for me so far and I hope that this long continues.

Ran a half marathon with 10 weeks training. Congratulations to anyone who has ran a full marathon. I can’t imagine the pain!
