ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling in South America and want to meet up with locals, to learn about the cultures of the places I am visiting. Making new friends and connecting genuinely with people brings me joy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a sociolgist by training. I will have a lot of questions about your society and culture and share insights about mine. I love to have a good time, find local spots for live music, go on hikes or walks in interesting areas, drink coffee or red wine, go on adventures, etc.
