Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from other countries and share experiences, learn from different lifestyles and cultures and expand my own perspective on life.

To stay in homes far away from my own and get to know foreign places with the help of the intimate knowledge and charm only a local has.

It's definitely NOT about cutting travel expenses ;)

Interests

Art in EVERY form.
Spirituality.
Nature, animals. Cats! Cacti and succulents.
Drawing, painting, dancing, singing.
Cooking, picnics, ice cream.
Bike rides and travels, yoga, swimming.
Concerts, art shows, fashion shows, endless dinner parties.
Reading and researching whatever sparks my curiosity.
Amulets, trinkets, rituals and magical thinking.

Anything fun and creative.
