Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I look forward to learning languages, teaching English, and sharing our cultures. My main goal in traveling is to share and learn about many things including local plants, animals, music, food, tea ceremonies, spiritual practices, and most of all- natural places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sincere conversation, an open heart, and maybe some bad jokes. Tea parties, hair cuts, English lessons, and yoga sessions! I also enjoy cooking for people and sharing meals as well as caring for pets and plants.
