Hello :) My name is Payton and I’m a chill and easy going gal. I am a social worker and really enjoy connecting with and serving other people. Just trying to connect with people around the world through sharing smiles and kindness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I’ve found that living and hanging out with locals is such a great and wonderful way to connect to the culture and meet new people. After doing a few workaways with locals I found the hostel life just wasn’t for me anymore.

Interests

I love yoga, music, tea/coffee and chill environments. I am finding my artistic side and am getting into drawing. I like to wander around new streets, trying new food and sharing my smile with the world ️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just began doing headstands in my yoga practice, which I’m really proud of!

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love getting to know new people and learning about their interests and day to day life. We are all more connected than we think and I love finding that connection ️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a yoga teacher and am Reiki 1 attuned. I would love to share my morning practice with you :) I am a Native English speaker and would be happy to give lessons. I have experience and especially love working and hanging out with children. I also like to clean, so I can help keep the house tidy ;)
