CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make my childhood dream come true! Traveling trough all of South America, to meet its amazing people and diferent cultures and see its amazing and gorgeous diversity

ABOUT ME

WEll where to start, its allways dificult to talk about myself, but will give a go!

I{m 35 years old and consider myself to be a very nice down to earth and funny person (that is what people say about me), friend of his friend.

Having finished my studies i decided to make my dream come true before geting on with my career, that dream is traveling trough South America. I am travelling with my best friend Gemma Stansfied who is from England. We lived and worked in Manchester for 4 years and have decided to explore south america together and live out a dream we both have.

This is the first time I have ever travelled and I´m really emjoying the escape from the busy life I had at home. This trip has been inspried by the amazing landscapes, cultures and friendlyness of the people we hear so mcuh about in the Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of my life and be honest with myself and others. As my mum teached me allways be positive in life as there are people with more dificulties than me,and smille as will help me be a happier person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and Gemma actually have hosted people in Manchester but not through couch surfing. We only discovered this site since we have been travelling which is funny as we practically offered a hosting service to people in Manchester. We had a large flat in the city centre and had a spare room so we often let friends/people stay with us. This included people from Los Angeles, Greece, South Africa and Columbia. So i can say that i was doing couch surfing without knowing it, and have to be honest love having people arround makes life more interesting. As well staying with other people allows me to see first hand how people live and better understand their culture which its what i think couch surfing is all about.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet :( but as mentioned above we have hosted many people in Manchester independantly.
Since our journey began we have stayed with 3 families. This included Bogota and Pasto in Columbia and Lima in Peru. So far these experiences have been the best as we have been able to see how the local people live. It is a nice change to meet local people rather than socialise with backpackers in hostels.

Interests
