About Me

Hello Couchsurfing friends!

I'm Jocelyn.

I love... yoga, dancing, singing, good food, music, dancing, drums, exploring consciousness, travelling (internally and externally), communal living, soil, reiki, walking up mountains and breathing fresh air, moresinging, swimming holes, foraging for berries!, laughing (a lot!) and... Love :)

I have just spent 1.5 years in Guatemala practicing and teaching yoga and volunteering at an ashram as a permaculture gardener. I also spent a lot of time singing kirtan and generally playing music and making art! Now I've come to experience a bit more of the magic and wonder close to home and am traveling through the UK and Ireland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted Couchsurfers at my house in London before and met some awesome folks! I started to Couchsurf myself a couple of years ago and have only had great experiences so far!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A number of years ago I did some Couchsurfing in Indonesia and it was brilliant! I met so many wonderful people and couldn't have had a better time. I hope to do a lot more CouchSurfing and hosting in the future!
