CURRENT MISSION

To be like the flowing water, finding and making paths with no violence only persistence and patience.

ABOUT ME

I love to learn. I believe you can learn something from every and each person/ situation you encounter. And I love that! I'm also a dreamer. I like to dream about small everyday things and big, crazy ones. Then to take my time walking towards achieving them.

I am an animation filmmaker and illustrator. I love making silly little illustrations and building puppet creatures. I enjoy baking and cooking Indian and Levantine dishes. I am passionate about the environment and volunteer with NGOs to bring awareness to soil issues. I find fulfillment in gardening and growing my own vegetables, even if it's just 3 peppers and 9 tomatoes. I love watching things grow and my apartment often turns into a jungle. I love the smell of moist moss and soil in the forest and go for long walks of hikes whenever I can. I gather herbs and experiment with fermenting veggies and making my own ginger ale (as of yet unsuccessfully)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience places through their people. To hear the stories and learn about traditions and culture. And to be able to do the same for other travelers.

Interests

I am interested in history and culture, I like to listen to stories and go on long walks in the forest. In my kitchen you can find every herb imaginable but no coffee. Most of all I love having my hands dirty, buried in the soil or sculpting the newest addition to my puppet collection.
