Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been great so far! I have met many amazing people. I have collaborated with some of them for some projects and i keep in touch with others in hopes of travelling together soon.

Interests

My main and biggest interest is music and artistic forms of expression such as film, painting, etc. I have been playing music for most of my life and i am always looking for people to collaborate and to learn from. I also llke cooking a lot, i know some peruvian dishes here and there. Of course i love travelling and languages, as of now im only 100% fluent in english and spanish but i know a little bit of portuguese and a tiny little bit of french (although i know how to say cheers in many languages haha )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abseiling down 4 waterfalls in Vietnam.

Hiking through the Cambodian Jungle to an isolated beach with bright white sand, crystal clear water and phosphorescent plankton.

Hitch hiking in Southern Thailand.

Going cross country in a boat from Thailand to Laos down the Mekong River.

Learning to play the Gamelan in Indonesia.

Riding bikes in Holland at a nudist park

Seeing Manu Chao in the rain at a super isolated music festival in the north of France where no one spoke English or Spanish.

Playing self made digeridoos in a cave up in Humboldt, CA. The cave made them resonate amazingly and then the tide went up and we got trapped in the cave haha, we survived =)

Another one would be running down the Pastoruri glacier in Huaraz,,Peru. It was probably a very dumb idea (it was) but i felt like i conquered the glacier in some kind of way haha. Thank god for coca leaves.
