COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Most of my trips I've been staying with locals and friends I've known from other trips. But in 2015 I spent some time in Australia where I used couchsurfing a fair bit, which led to great and interesting encounters. I love this network and what it does for the connection of people in the world!

Swam with wild pink river dolphins in the Bolivian Amazon. A female swam up to me and my friend and let us hold her for a brief moment. As a reward to herself for being so nice she cheekily took a few nibbles on our toes :)
