Spirit-weaver, earth-mother, mystic, dreamer & doer, artist and activist...

8 years in the Netherlands, co-managing the city's oldest vegetarian restaurant, moving forward now to meet the rest of Europe and find fertile soil to put down some new roots!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

** to experience the magic of sharing - from both sides: as a hostess (for the past 5 years in Amsterdam, and possibly again in the future) and as a guest in another's home

Interests

I love a quiet, peaceful, creative, cosy and well-balanced life!

For example, I like to do some yoga and take a walk every morning before breakfast...
In the daytime I alternate between activities with my daughter and activities on my own.
With my daughter: weaving, beading, singing, painting, drawing, improvised theatrical expression.
On my own: preparing food, working in the garden, working at the computer, catching up on administration and taking steps to progress in my business and chosen way of life.
