Hi everyone, I'm a psychotherapist willing to exchange EMDR for accommodation! Also looking for surf and adventure buddies :)

I'll be visiting Nicaragua for several months in 2025, mostly chasing waves but also exploring culture and adventure.

I don't come on here often so try me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/blake.johns.52/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy getting off the tourist trail and love connecting with locals to get an authentic feel of a culture
