ABOUT ME

I smile a lot and like to laugh.
I find it is important to be ready to work on ourselves, to question the way we behave and act in order to improve. From observation we can change, evolve and develop our beings.
serious huh?....
Description incomplete, maybe we'll meet some time? That'd be so much better than a word description on the computer.

PHILOSOPHY

i'm thinking about it, ha!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a few unofficial CS before this website came across my path.
People who couchsurfed at my place were either friends or someone who was busking in the street.

After that I used CS a bunch and haven't in several years now.
Now I msotly look up potential tango hosts on CS :)

Interests

learning, hiking, singing, speaking foreign languages, weaving (on a loom), watching the way people walk, dancing (tango, east coast swing and just plain fun), listening to music, people, loving, education, non-violent communication, being with people who take or go with me to beautiful places, riding my bike around town, the outdoors, some day I want to learn how to make a fire without a lighter. Maybe, anyway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hmmmm.
any walk in the forest is always a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach, very practically, is English and French...Everyone learns from meeting other people, so you probably would learn other things from me I'm not even aware of.
I want to develop my Spanish, hopefully take a bit of Mandarin chinese to et my brain going, and learn more about how to handle emergency situations, crocheting, cooking, being present, dancing tango, singing, first aid stuff and probably other things I can't think of just now.
