Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people and I love to travel. So, when I can, I host surfers and when I'm travelling, I love to adventure of staying with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined couch surfing in 2012 because some friends encouraged me to and hosted a few people in my apartment in Korea. In 2015 I had my first experience couch surfing on a trip across the US and it was amazing how nice people are.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga and stretching: If you want to learn one of the secrets to effective, efficient stretching, I can teach you. Many yoga instructors will tell you to relax into a stretch. When you see a cat or dog get up from a nap and stretch, does it look like it's relaxing it's body? Nope. It's tensing and stretching it's body in a very specific way that creates an effective and efficient stretch. I can explain and teach you this technique and it will change the way you stretch forever. You'll no longer need to spend hours stretching. A few minutes will go a long way.
