Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still getting to know CS: I have surfed twice and will be hosting my first guest shortly.

FYI before requesting:
- If you want to stay here make sure send a request at least 4 days before your arrival.
- I work Monday to Friday so it's easier for me to host during the weekends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Nevado del Tolima (in Colombia) at 5,220m

Stood 2 meters away from a lava river in Volcán Pacaya in Guatemala. I even got a lava-marshmallow on the tip of my walking stick... Oh yes, I made it back with no hairs on my legs as well !!!

Walking around Sequoia trees in California
Trekking to Machu Picchu in Peru
Doing a 5-day self supported trek around Sierra Nevada del Cocuy (Colombia) with my best friends
