Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I served as a hands-off midwife for a leatherback in labour on a moonlit night. Hearing trucker stories while hitchhiking through paramilitary land, kept safe by the graces of angels and intuition.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fun with words! An earful of corny puns!

Spanglish, as in writing/editing/translating in either the Spanish or English language. www.tintotintatranslations.com

Yogalates, or either yoga or pilates separately.

Being a peasant, or one who pleasantly grows peas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pavement pounding, trail trodding, maybe even lake splashing. Happy to play tourist all over again.
