ABOUT US
Dylan and Taylor, a transient couple traveling the world! We are both whitewater rafting guides in Southwestern Colorado during the summer (Dylan 4 season and Taylor 2 seasons). Taylor has a degree in art education and will be pursuing her teaching career after our travels. During the winter we both work at a Colorado ski resort (Dylan 3 seasons and Taylor 1 season). This winter, we will be traveling through South America for 3 months (January-April).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love the opportunity to meet and stay with locals, to better learn about the cultures, cuisine, and language while we explore the countries of Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, and Chile.
