About Me

Hey Surfers!

We are a couple from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Loquen and I backpacked through South America from June to October 2017. We flew into Ecuador and made our way down to Peru then over to Bolivia before heading into Brazil and then visited Argentina and Chile.

We seek out hostels and locals that are interested in backpacking trips that explore the beauty this world offers: multifaceted cultual heritages, food, stories, and epic people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on Couchsurfing because we love meeting new people.
We enjoy hosting people and love being hosted. It is so great meeting people from all over the world and sharing stories!
