I am a student and practitioner of wellness including mindfulness and forest bathing (Shinrinyoku). I am a certified Shinrinyoku guide. To further the practice of mindfulness and to take the benefits of the practice to others, I am keen to build a wellness sanctuary in Bali. This will be a post-retirement endeavour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet locals in places that I would like to visit in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Europe and the UK. Through Couchsurfing, I hope to befriend like-minded people with similar interests. Towards this, I will be happy to offer hospitality to travellers to Bali from 2020.
