About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to sew anything and everything.

ABOUT ME

I'm an extroverted introvert: I honestly enjoy meeting people and socialising, although I might not seem like it at times. (E.g. when I leave the crowd and hide somewhere in a corner to read a book or collect my thoughts).
Since September 2012, I have been following a paleo diet and I've been trying hard to follow a paleo lifestyle. This means I'm grainfree, most-dairyfree and consume unbelieveable amounts of various fats with every meal - basically, a nightmare to feed. (But not really!) Also, I try to exercise and sleep as much as possible, but still fail at that front.
Currently, I teach English for a living. But one day I hope to either teach Phonetics and Phonology at the university or design lingerie - or do both, why not!
And I enjoy a good dictionary.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is relative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf, host a bit, show people around the town and spread the good word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted, surfed, attended a few meetings and met a few people who sought company while visiting the city I lived in.
It's been a good experience, a positive experience.

Interests

English - my favourite language of all.
Sewing - just starting out, but am determined to achieve excellence some day.
Lingerie - wanna talk bras? I can go on for hours - and I'm only starting to learn anything about the topic!
Paleo food, paleo workout, paleo mindset, paleo sleep pattern, why anything with a paleo 'prefix' isn't paleo...
Walking in the rain, drinking tea, stroking cats, rubbing dog bellies, shopping for food, cooking, listening to what people say and how they do it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I would rather listen to accents and dialects than to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone paleo! Not amazing enough? Let's meet up and discuss it then, my friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

I most eagerly share/teach what I'm currently fascinated with. Right now it's paleo lifestyle and bras. Tomorrow - we'll see.
And I will learn anything if you're willing enough to teach me!
