About Me

A traveller in body, mind and spirit I am involved in that interesting and always challenging task of growing roots and fostering wings likewise. I guess some nomad pulse is in my veins as it is the journeys and encounters in its wide fold sense that underlies what pretty much of my time and energy gets in.
Motherhood made me more aware of the pillars I want to place my life on and of the beauty of having a place to be, without being completely tied to it.
I do believe in our human potential as to make this world as a whole and our individual worlds a better place, a place for respect, love and sharing. And for laughing, dancing and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is pretty much on a wider scale what I practised in lots of the travels I did. Being with people that were already or became friends. Going to a place where you do not get in touch with the people is sightseeing without diving in.
Often I have been overwhelmed by a natural hospitality and often in countries that are not as wealthy as the European. Without asking any guarantee from me or having any other interest than sharing what they could offer. I feel that this sense of hospitality is not as present here anymore and that this means a close-up, a cooling down of human relationships. Couchsurfing is enhancing that old feeling of welcoming the other again.
