CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet cool folks, learn another language

ABOUT ME

Living in San Juan La Laguna, working for a small NGO as a volunteer coordinator. San Juan is a smaller, quieter and less gringo-y alternative to San Pedro. It's only 5 minutes away by tuk-tuk.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep moving forward while trying to be content with where I'm at.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'll be living in Guatemala on a longer term basis, meeting up with travelers seems like it'd be a good way to meet people with some similar interests. Plus this area is so beautiful I'd be happy to share it with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couch surfed across Spain and had a wonderful experience. All my hosts were really cool and I had a great time spending time in places with people who called it home. Also have had friends who've hosted a lot of people and pretty much I met through it seemed really cool.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Went in an old abandoned sewer tunnel system underneath a major downtown area. After crawling through low tunnels and secret passageways, hung out in a small "bar" that had been etched out of the sand stone. Slightly claustrophobic so somewhat terrifying but also incredible.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you some Spanish if you'd like. Also could show you around the town of San Juan and some of the surrounding walks.
