Couchsurfing is da bomb. Its a website where people all over the world register to share their couch, bed or floor with travellers. We've just started using it in Buenos Aires, and its really given us another perspective to our travels. We felt so at home at these complete strangers' places and its let us do a lot of things (and save lots and lost of money) that we wouldnt otherwise have been able to do. Its amazing too how these people just decide to take strangers into their houses and lives without any apprehension... it kind of gives you hope for humanity.
Now we're staying in Cordoba, Argentina's 2nd largest city and once again we've had the best luck with couchsurfing, being hosted by Sofia, a 20 year old graphic design student in her amazing house with a Mediterranean garden and swimming pool!! We had a huge BBQ with all her family just after arriving and spent the afternoon laying by the pool and playing with her newborn puppies (the 4 fattest puppies in the universe).
She took us out to one of her friends' Bday parties that night and we danced until morning, then we got up at 2 that day and had a repeat of the previous one, laying by the pool, drinking mate and exchanging massages.
Life just shouldnt be this good. We've decided that it just can't get any better than this, so the only solution is to die. Yes, its drastic, but we see no other choice. And since the next 60 years are all gonna be downhill anyways...we might as well spare ourselves the wrinkles.
I've finally uploaded all my photos from Argentina, including our huge hike, the glaciers, Bariloche and bus rides. Click here to see them.
