Hi guys! My name is JQ, I am a traveling yoga teacher and photographer. I’ve hosted quite a few times but lost the login info for my old account, so I’m starting fresh. I loved the experience of hosting and look forward to being able to host again someday. As a traveler, my aim is to bring light into your home. To listen sincerely, and learn about your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
