About Me

Hola!
I'm into sustainability, veganism, yoga, cooking and anything spiritual and art related. I cohost woman circles in my room were likeminded woman connect and learn together about spirituality, meditation ( everything life and esoteric related ) Im an enthusiastic houseplant collector and I started to put all the seeds from food I ate into the ground as well! ( now growing; cherry tomato, avocado, dates , mandarins and grapefruits. ) I practice chanting meditation and yoga daily and I love to read ( although struggling to find the time... ) ! Im currently studying textile design at the art school in The Hague. ( What the heck is textile design?! good question, I'm still figuring that one out, I can tell you all about it when we meet! There is no short answer... ) Still trying to find out my path in the arts... ( and life really..) Trying to let go, surrender to life and get lost in the moment. ( kinda quoted a musician there , who knows him..?)

( I don’t smoke or drink:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im traveling for deep connections and inspiration! To really get inspired by a place through its people , sharing meals , exchanging stories and learning together. Im always up for spontaneous plans,
Im in between obsessive planning and obsessively chasing spontaneous plans.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to improve my drawing and photography skills while traveling.
I love yoga/ meditation and vegan cooking , I’d love to cook for you! If I'm staying longer: let me know if you have an oven cause I also love to bake some chocolate cake or banana bread! Or: do yoga together, go and explore the city, go for a coffee etc.
Im not sure if anyone is interested in this, but, I know a lot of textile techniques: so I can teach you some basics of knitting, crochet, weaving, embroidery, etc etc.
I picked some Spanish up whilst living in Mexico, Im always up for practicing!
Last but not least I can share my travel stories!
