CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Nature lover, all it's creations amaze and inspire me - people, animals, plants and rocks.
I love the simplicity of life in nature, the peaceful, comforting feeling of being provided with everything that really matters, when really little is needed.
I enjoy water a lot and imagined I would one day swim a long distance, learn to free dive and meet a mermaid - have you ever seen one?

Travelling has brought a lot of yummy fruits and greens, amazing cultures, wonderful places and beautiful people in my life - for which I consider myself extremely lucky and forever grateful.
Living in one place has made me realize the importance of creating a healthy, nourishing, inspiring environment for myself to thrive, on physical, mental and social planes.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a true miracle, our bodies hold universe's mysteries, our self is divine.
For me movement and dance best express the nature of life and connection.
Committed to growing love, peace and happiness in myself for the benefit of all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN

When in Bucharest I could host travelers on the sofa in my place or in a cozy trailer home positioned in our garden, more comfortable in warmer weather.

EXPERIENCE

Not much actual experience yet but looking forward to giving and receiving hospitality, kindness and inspiration.

Interests

Love experiencing art in its various forms, listening to what most excite people, sharing things I find useful, experience what makes me feel alive.

I'm organizing Ecstatic Dance in Bucharest, a safe friendly space where we gather and dance freely to find ourselves and connect with others beyond words, bring presence into our bodies, invite the music to move us from within. Dancing for fun, for the pure joy of it, for celebrating, for health and change.

Food is a constant interest for me, as a means of relating with the world and enjoying good health. I've learned how to prepare healthy delicious raw food that brought a lot of satisfaction in my life and became a precious thing I have to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Soulful music that can't be easily labeled, rhythms of drums and ethnic instruments from around the world, indie folk, nature sounds for peaceful time with myself. A lot of other styles for dancing, including progressive psy at festivals and good techno parties.

I love animation movies, especially by Studio Ghibli.

I like reading philosophical novels and I recently developed a preference for Alain de Botton. I feel becoming a better human and receive much insight when reading Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle. I usually have two or three books I read in parallel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the cold pristine waters coming from a gorgeous waterfall in remote countryside of Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Ashtanga Yoga.
I wanna learn hula hoop, free dive, growing silk worms and hand weaving.
I can share my experiences, feelings and hopes, my enthusiasm and various ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Delicious meals that I can happily prepare.
Cleaning the kitchen is something I enjoy doing if necessary.
