Hello everyone, I am Annette, the queen of RelativismLand, a far, far away country with fuzzy borders, blurred emotions and mixed identities. In RelativismLand everyone has more questions than answers and an equal number of tequila shots at the table. In my Realm we like to shine wearing black, we only cry for beautiful things and we find the extraordinary in the ordinary. The only formal law of this country is: no judgement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS to promote tourism in RelativismLand. It is a moving Realm and we would love you to join for a trip. My Realm and I will come wherever you are and we will show you around. It would be great if you could do the same.

Interests

I don't think that there is something in which I am not interested in.
But, because categorization are needed to label personalities and identify possible matches, the following list will present you some of my passions: music (to listen especially in vinyls or live), contemporary international/development issues (specifically related with Peace and Conflict Studies that is my study field), practical philosophy (an oxymoron, I know), grounded spirituality, art, artistic lifestyles, artists, broken he(arts),(art)ichokes (really, I love them)…ok, stop.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: the evergreens for me are Depeche Mode, Radiohead, The Cure, Sigur Rós and The Who; dancing mode is: !TECHNO!
Movies: The Matrix. This says a lot about me.
Books: my favorite book has been The Picture of Dorian Gray since...ever. I rank in my top ten also: Heinrich Böll's The Clown, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Le Petit Prince and The Wizard of Oz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've forgiven.

Teach, Learn, Share

Socialization is mostly an informal process: I don't think I can teach you something. But, we will definitely learn from each other by sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time. Laughs. Beers. Meaningful, deep, honest and compassionate conversations.
