my blessing and my curse: should i stay or should i go

i am an earthling..
happy (but moody sometimes). calm (& loud time to time). a life long learner (and a life long procrastinator). single (with at least one cat). an interpreter (who hides a craftsman within).
i want to build my own workshop (but i also want to own nothing more than a backpack). i want to travel the world (and i long for a home with a garden with cats dogs insects trees and preferably a river passing by). i like laughing, reading, watching mind blowing movies, having fun with friends, cooking, dining & wining, petting, swimming, yoga, handcrafts, dancing, and travelling. oh! i love travelling.

at the moment i am looking for new opportunities to trigger me; a new vision, new horizons. i want to start a simple living. go many places around the world, stay in a village, an ashram, an ecovillage and learn stuff. stuff like local handcrafts, wood working, farming, building a ship/ a house etc. with my bare hands.
i want real experiences, where my foot feels the sand and my hands in soil.
and i want to meet & work with people who work for the benefit of street animals.

PHILOSOPHY
laugh as much as u can, love as many as you can
do not exaggerate yourself - you are a carbon based organism on a rock floating through space

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to share...

life is all about sharing. be it a laugh, a travel, an experience...
i am a universal traveler and i want to explore.

meeting people with shared interests is fun. also meeting people with totally absurd interests can be fun.
as long as you are a decent and good-natured person, there will be many things we may learn from one another (including nothing :) )

also, i love travelling ;)
