About Me

One day I decided to quit my job, sell/give away/throw away 90% of my things and travel from Lima to Alaska. I left on the 21st of March 2016 for a trip that in my mind wasn't going to be longer than 6 months. What i didn't know is that this trip was going to change my life forever.

I went from being stressed, worried and probably very boring to all the opposite. I'm the happiest person I know, the most free and relaxed.

Best decision I ever made

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I had money, I would pay for the experience of staying with a locals. I love this website/app, in my mind is the best of the internet. Even though I could stay at a hostel, I come from so far and don't want to share my time with other foreigners.
