Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm staying with people I am as respectful as I know how to be. I will help cook, clean and if you need help with something while I'm around, I will gladly offer my best. :-)

When I find my own space I do hope to host people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled in India and Korea, not to mention the San Juan mountains of Colorado and Indian Creek/Canyonlands of Utah.

Really amazing spending time with elephants at a refuge in Kerala.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have questions I will answer them to the best of my ability. I've done a little bit of everything in my life so I have a fairly broad spectrum of understanding and abilities.

I do know a few simple though very useful breathing meditation techniques and I am a certified Yoga Instructor through the Yoga Alliance.

Yoga, Chi Gung, Meditation, a listening ear...

General understanding of auto mechanics.
