CURRENT MISSION

live every minute to the fullest , always learning something new

ABOUT ME

....maybe sometimes we do not need to take the road that is being built ahead of us, but build our own .....try to figure things out even if it means we might always be searching for something ...
...I tend to not stay in one place for very long, I lived in Romania and the US, studied in Italy, taught English and Italian in Argentina , volunteered in Colombia and taught in a Montessori kindergarten in Panama. I just moved to Barcelona , Spain to study Art Therapy.
....I love nature and any activity that can be done outdoors, would hike all the time if possible, I try to avoid cars and ride a bicycle everywhere , I look at the ocean for inspiration.....I use art as another language and am an artisan...
well......there is more, but I'll leave you with this for now.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that life is what we make of it, we have to find our passion and follow it, we have to believe in ourselves, stay open minded and learn constantly. We have to realize that everything can serve as a lesson and can help us understand more about each other and the world we live in. We have to learn how to give and to receive, we have to be ready to trust others, to compromise, to cross boundaries and leave a positive impact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to make people more aware that life has a lot to offer but in order to live it you have to explore. You have to be ready to leave your confort bubble and routine and try something new , only this way you will appreciate what you have and learn about yourself and others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read so I can never decide on a favorite book since there are too many things I have not read yet.......one of the books that I am very attached to since it offers unending inspiration is "Le citta' invisibile " ( The invisible cities) by Italo Calvino

Teach, Learn, Share

My advice for everyone is to DREAM, to always have something to look forward to, but also to try to enjoy the present since you can never go back in time.

What can I teach? I can teach languages, I can teach you how to draw, I can teach all sorts of small things…how to make macrame jewelry ...cook/bake… ..Permaculture and gardening .Share what I know....since we can all learn from each other .

I also once in a while share ideas...thoughts, through art and writing...www.madalinamihalache.com
