About Me

I’m easy going, soft, introspective and playful,
But can also turn extroverted and draw a lot of attention when im in the right mood.

Im also not afraid to be harsh towards people, including my friends, when its called for. I consider it an act of love.

I love walking, moving, dancing, culture, arts, music, food, nature, traveling, meeting new people ..

A night stroll by the canal, appreciating the shimmerings of light, with a deep talk and a playful atmosphere might be my favorite pastime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and seeing new cultures and the best and deepest way is of course (i believe) through the people.

Interests

Im very deep into feldenkrais and somatic education in general. I am refostering the connection with my body which for me means the beginning of a new life. These practices keep me sane.

I love film and music and art, even though my patience for screen time is relatively low these days and would usually prefer a nice walk outside with good company, i highly appreciate creative and thought provoking movies, books and art.

Im also writing a childrens book at the moment!
