About Me

ABOUT ME

24/7 a multiple-dog owner, who is in love with Iceland, finding time to try everything that life has to offer :)

To describe myself is a tough question... Well, one day its me, other day its the other me, then the childish me, the creative me, the sensitive me, the curious me, the serious me, the adventurous me...

If in three words, I could present myself as a crazy dog lady

PHILOSOPHY

a) carpe diem
b) live and let live
c) be yourself
d) improve yourself
e) be responsible, keep your word
f) respect every living thing
g) Many of you have forgotten this truth
but you must never forget it:
you remain responsible, forever,
for what you have tamed.(Exupery)
h) and one more, which I remember one Brother in Taize kept repeating to us in 2004:
"Life is beautiful. Hard, but beautiful. Be creative!"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With every new experience I love CS more and more :) Its the best way of traveling, I think. And it is really addictive :)

Medicine, spontaneous traveling, animal rights, music, open-air music festivals, street art (a must check in every city I visit), urban exploring, abandoned places, mountains, nature, North, psytrance, independent movies, good movies, dogs, wolves, human rights, trying and learning new things, ethnoculture, traveling, camping, psychedelic stuff :), early summer mornings, meeting people as well as being alone ...

And I love North, and everything about it: nature, animals, people, weather.
Iceland, I love it most of all.
