Edit: CURRENTLY IN CROATIA OVER THE SUMMER (WITH MY PARTNER )

Hi people 🤟🏻

I´m Bella (nobody calls me Isabel since over a decade) and my main residence is in beautiful, filthy Berlin.

I'm Croatian🇭🇷 by origin but have lived in many countries as I enjoy travelling, getting lost and then finding my way again as well as broadening my understanding of culture and language.

According to my parents I was gonna be "forever unemployed" because I'm tattooed up to the chin...so I became a graphic designer 🎨💻.
In this business tattooes only give you more street credibility :D

I train Poledance since 7 years and occasionally do performances but it's mainly a passion and pays off the pole/outfits, rather than my bills.

What can I offer you?
🤸🏻‍♀️Poledance lessons (if you have access to a pole)

🏋🏻‍♂️ Workout sessions: HIIT, kickboxing/sparring, strength and flexibility training, Yoga (gotta do all of that to be able to swing myself around the pole🥵)

🍝🍰 Pamper you with salty and sweet heavens VEGAN+VEGETARIAN+OMNIVORE (I make the best Crostata di albicocche, štruklje and cheesecake while my Italian partner Davide cooks any dish from any part of the world for you!)

🏖🏩 One home in Berlin/Moabit (all year long) and one summer house in Krk, Croatia (suitable between June and September)

💻👩‍🎨 graphic design related help (logo, product design, business card, pitch deck etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I´m self-employed and only need my laptop, wifi and sometimes the tablet to work, I travel as much as I can and I am always hoping to meet many interesting people, find a connection, share and learn 👩🌾👩🏻🎤👨🏿🎨🧕👨🏾🦱👩🏻🔧👵🏽🤲🏻✍🏽🙏

The world may seem like a crowded, objectified and heartless place from time to time though I truly believe we can change that through an open heart and a welcoming smile :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

👩🏻🎓Teaching for a nutrition and language project in Peru

⛰Meeting the cousin of a shaman who then took me to a sacred, boiling river in the Peruvian Amazon and taught me a lot about plant medicine. That was pretty rad.

🤸🏻♀️Performing Pole @ Torture Garden Berlin 2020

👉🏻I'd also consider myself a good friend and I reckon that means a lot these days.
