CURRENT MISSION

getting the imperfect balance

ABOUT ME

I have been living in different places in Europe to learn languages and explore different cultures.
I work as a translator and interpreter. I like it because I can be free whenever I want basically. I am open, positive,optimistic, smiling... my glass is never half empty, always half full. Curiosity and imagination are the qualities I appreciate most.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a seeker of silences, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting and hosting CS members, and talk about Cs to my friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got a few. The longest and not conventional one was at Francesca's. She hosted me for a month in her house in Brussels while she was improving her Croatian in Croatia.

Interests

I think that my first interest, at the age of 4 was for animals. During my childhood I really wanted to be a vet, but at the end I changed my mind. During many years I did karate. When I was about to get the black belt I dropped it and started at 16 with ballet which I figured out being not too much different from karate. At 17 I started Latin dance and painting. I love contemporary dancing, volleyball, meditation, yoga and swimming as well. Reading (no matter what)- Cinema, especially European films,grounding in woods,the sea and cooking are my passions as well.
