ABOUT ME

I am an anthropologist, traveller, dancer, photographer and above all an easy-going girl/woman with an infinite desire to discover the world and its complexities.

I am a FEMINIST and PRO-QUEER so will provide a safe space if needed.

PHILOSOPHY

just give it a try and start somewhere.
"everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

be good and the good will be given to you. I am all into karma :))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

where else I could meet so many crazy and interesting people and have fun with them?

Interests

i'm a very curious person. life interests me in all of its forms. from tiny creatures, nature, bodies, mindes, hearts and souls to the huge unknown space above us. I enjoy small things, sun shining, clouds taking wonderfull shapes, birds singing, dancing in the rain, walking bare feet, eating with my hands. I love being outside and outdoor activities: hiking, climbing, cycling, running or slacklining. I have a great interest in art specifically in street and portrait photography. I believe that expressing feelings is essential for a well-being and when it's creative then even better. For me it's mainly through contact and contemporary dance.

I could write much more but it's better to meet up with me and exchange knowledge and interests :)

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS: anything that would inspire me and take on adventure, provide some knowledge or transfer to another world. Recent companions include Rebecca Solnit, Robin Davidson, Arundathi Roy, Hermann Hesse, Neil Geiman, The Celestine Prophecy.
SOUNDS: preferably of nature. I will always be faithful to the greatest women voices such as Nina Simon, Ella Fitzgerald, Janis Joplin. Recently enjoying ambient sounds of Bonobo, Submotion Orchesta, Xavier Rudd, CocoRosie, Gramatik, Etnhogenic. Im a big fan of all variations of hand pans, didgeridoos, saxophone and the drums. I also like the little ethnic instruments like kalimba, udu, and mouthharp etc. So my love and interest goes to widely understood 'world music.'

MOVIES: not that often, yet im fascinated by complex minds like this of Jodorowsky. I prefare either documentaries or alternative cinema. And I have a (secret) crash on animated movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i see amazing things everyday! sometimes it's a massive acid coloured frog in the nearby park or a mountain pick in Himalayas. I love performance of nature, wether on sky or on the water.
Most of the things that happen while travelling are amazing too. Camping on the wild beach in Greece with a bonfire, seeing an octopus on one of the dives in Sagres, Portugal, hitch-hiking from Holland to Morocco, hiking to Annapurna Base Camp while getting seriously sick at 3000 m. I can carry on forever, but we can exchange those stories when we meet. I'm sure you all have many to share!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a lot. It was so hard to pick one subject to study. I could teach how to be happy, positive and passionate. How to dance with poi, climb trees and camp.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to take a portrait of you!

I can prepare a decent shakshuka and a vegan chocolate cake.
I can also lead a yoga class.
And I am a preatty good listener (and a discussant:))
