This is not a dating app, nor tinder; it’s a community of connecting with cultured travelers. Do not reach out if your intentions are the same mindset as that.
I will not meet any males without a female reference and verification.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to experience cities through the eyes of natives/locals, discover hidden gems you wouldn’t find as a typical tourist, assist in educating; connecting and learning from others while simultaneously further expanding knowledge of cultures; traditions and other arrays of things from passionate people over the globe.

Some things I love:
• Trying authentic dishes that can be made vegan
• Exploring native locations before social media polluted them
• Biking, hiking, or foraging with a host, or get recommendations for renting a bike or discovering great trails.
• Visit popular dance venues, bathhouses, or natural thermal springs
• Meeting fellow ocean enthusiasts to snorkel, explore sea caves, or to be ASA sailing certified

One of my favorite experiences was joining a radio host at work, an unforgettable time to immerse in local work life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a wealth of knowledge in holistic health, tcm, natural remedies, plant based nutrition, overall well-being, and tips for all levels plant-based cooking. Can assist with some tech struggles. I’m also happy to help with organization, keeping spaces clean, and respecting house rules.

One of many ways I like to connect with hosts is by co-recreating favorite dishes and giving them a delicious plant-based twist, learning the native dances, and singing together.
