Updated 6/26/2024: I'm currently living on a school campus, so unfortunately, I cannot host anyone because of liability issues and strict rules from the school itself. CURRENT MISSION I just love to meet people and explore new places! A personal goal is to visit 38 countries by the time I'm 37. There is a club that I'd love to be a part of: The Travelers' Century Club. I need to visit 50 places on their list to even qualify so I'm hoping to reach 50 by before I'm 40 :P https://travelerscenturyclub.org/countries-and-territories/alphabetical-list I'm also collecting Harry Potter in as many languages as I can. So far: Japanese, Malay, Thai, Spanish, Vietnamese, Latin, Hawaiian, Chinese, Polish, French, German, Finnish, Swedish, Hindi, Korea, and Catalan (hard to find but found it in Andorra). I still need about 50 more! ABOUT ME My Husband, Richard Tumin's Page: https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/rico96720/ (09/2022-2023) We live in San Pedro de Alcantara, Spain. It’s in the south, part of the Costa del Sol. We are up for hosting but will be working during the day but we can definitely meet up and show you around on weekend and if we are not traveling at that time. (2016-2022) I lived in Zhejiang Province of China with my husband working but our journey here is only the beginning of many travels to come! I am teaching English writing as well work as a guidance counseling to get all my HS seniors into schools in American, Canada, EU, Australia and England. We used to live in Salaya, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand (2015) and was originally from the Big Island of Hawaii. We are English teachers on a mission to teach our native tongue to others and learn the language and culture of the places we visit. I'm a proud Alum of the University of Hawaii AT HILO (not Manoa) and am currently trying to obtain my license to practice Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine since I graduated in 2016. I figure, I'm not going to get much traveling done once I've started my career so I should get as many stamps into my passport as I can! I've hosted a few people here in Hawaii as well in Japan but if you want more information about Hilo Check out my Pinterest page if you need a bit more ideas about Hilo or the Big Island of Hawaii.

I believe we can cope with everything that is thrown at us, so if we do something crazy or extreme, we should be able to cope and power through (tried and tested as COVID proved for many of us)
Aloha! Originally from San Jose, transplanted to the Big Island of Hawaii 15 yrs ago. Enjoying the slower paced simple life with the occasional adventures visiting friends, family, and traveling abroad. New to Couchsurfing, excited to check it out and see what new friends await. If your ever on the Big Island, space is always available 🤙
ABOUT ME (I'm sorry but we are not hosting at this time.) In all our travels Tom and I always come home talking about the PEOPLE we connected with. Of course we love to look at the beautiful photos and remember all the incredible scenes that we feasted our eyes on. But, we are touched by the connection with other travelers and locals we meet along the way. We enjoy visitors and appreciate what they bring to our life experiences. We are active and enjoy hiking, swimming, boarding, kayaking, golf, and walking. Tom is the one who speaks all the languages. I speak German in addition to English as well as ASL (rusty).
I live in Hawaii most of the year when not traveling. Im a Master Shaman/transformational coach/therapist and healing is what I do for profession Embracing both humanity and divinity, the fun, the pain and everything that goes with our existence.
