Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to share my time, energy and couch with other surfers whenever I can.
When I do couch surf, I am pretty easygoing with where I sleep. I always travel with my yoga mat and can sleep on it anywhere, a few items of bundled up clothes makes a pillow and I am ready to zzzz. I'm always happy to help around and contribute where I am staying. I love cooking so I am always keen to share time in the kitchen and I always tidy up after myself. I am good at tuning in and going with the flow with whatever is going on.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this couchsurfing community, however I have spent many a times hosting travellers at my home and equally as much time on someone else's floor/couch when I have been on the road. Having met many others who have used this network and loved it, I decided to explore this couchsurfing community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with English if you are learning. I am also happy to help you with yoga practice if you are new to it and curious. Have a chat with me, if there is anything that I know that you want to learn or need help with I am happy to share.
