Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started with just surfing when I was traveling through the Andean countries, and I had the most amazing experiences. Once I returned to California and was able to return the favor, I started hosting several travelers in San Diego, which was very fun and eye-opening as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing so far. I have met some of the people who know me the most through Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Torres del Paine in the south of Chile and loved every minute of it. I also saw the Taj Mahal as a child and the memory is still very vivid for me.
