Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. Help me get a good one :)

Interests

- Growth. I'm fascinated by why people do the things they do. Their psychology, philosophy, spiritual and religious believes. Their dreams, fears, lives and all they've learned along the way. It just fascinates me, even if I find it BS.

- Scuba Diving. There is something magical about the world under water...

- Food & Drinks. I think I could eat sushi every day (probably because I don't do it every day) I love Eritrean and Ethiopian food, it's an event on it's own.

- Traveling and I hope to do a lot more of it in the future.

- Nature. I am very much a city girl and therefor I appreciate and admire being in nature more.

- Writing. I am an editor and will be a writer ;)

- Dancing and going out and I go all out...

- Interior decorating, science fiction, bonsai trees, ecologic and organic innovations (and design), flowers, coffee, bubble wine, All Stars, flee markets.... Probably missed some stuff, but this is what I can come up with...

• writing
• design
• dancing
• dining
• wine
• coffee
• drinking
• flowers
• traveling
• scuba diving
• psychology
• science

- And the list goes on...

Music:

I listen to a variety of different music, but the music that touches me the most is Capeverdean music. For a such a small country, there are so many different types of beautiful, pure music. Some of my favorite artists are: Sara Tavares, Lura, Mayra Andrade and the world famous Cesaria Evora.

Currently on my mp3-player: All the above, Tracy Chapman, P!nk, Eddie Vedder, Alicia Keys, Vivian Green, Ani DiFranco, Stained, Amy Winehouse and Jack Johnson.

Books:

I like to read books on esoteric subjects, but also books on diving, travelling and whatever is occupying my mind at the moment.
