ABOUT ME
I am currently living at a ranch in the countryside where I work with horses and try become a better horsewoman, meaning that I am putting my dedication to create partnership with horses and become better at understanding their nature and training them accordingly. At the ranch we work a lot with rescue horses that people have given up on because they don't know how to handle them. We think they deserve a second chance. Horses are incredibly interesting creatures and the more I interact with them the more fascinated I get!
Fortunately for me, there are many things I enjoy in life. Besides spending time with horses and other animals I also enjoy playing and listening to music, dancing, eating/drinking in the company of dear friends, bike riding, analog photography and more. I have studied political science, economics and philosophy and really enjoy studying. I am quite talkative and outspoken and I am especially interested in politics and philosophy. I can spend a long time on conversations about animal ethics, political philosophy and of course horses. Especially horses. If you're not interested, then don't get me started.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in living life in an active manner, with open eyes seeing way beyond your own nose. There are always new things to learn and challenges to take that make you evolve. That being said, it is important to respect your own values and not let them be stepped on or put yourself in situations you are not comfortable with. Self respect is a virtue.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
PLEASE READ: I am tired of certain invites I receive frequently. I am not interested in dating and will not reply to any messages starting with "hi beautiful" or containing messages like "I will treat you like a queen". I have interests and skills and they have nothing to do with being beautiful or wanting to be treated like a queen. If I want to surf your couch I will ask, no need to invite me. Use CS wisely or it will never last!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
many wonderful experiences in europe and south america. I have hosted very little and dont have the opportunity right now. But When I have the space I really want to host, especially people that I can practice spanish or french with!
