About Me

I am a down to earth spiritual seeker, with a kind and soft heart.
I love nature, being close to the preciousness of simply being alive, staying close to my heart and that wise inner "grandmother" voice :)
I love making and playing music, dance, yoga, meditation, stillness, poetry, real human meetings. I love being just right here in the moment as life is now. I love feeling my body and breath, feeling my feet, the earth. And I so love being in nature!!

I love my profession as a music therapist and authentic movement practitioner (Moving Cycle). Helping people come closer to their life calling fills my life with depth and magic.

I have just now been on a 9 months journey in south Europe with my self-converted van, together with my cat :)
I used couchsurfing a lot years ago, both hosting and surfing, and had so many good experiences, especially while being in India. Then I just kind of forgot about couchsurfing after airbnb came... strange when I think about it. Then someone I met recently while traveling was using it and talking to me about it. So I am no reactivating my account again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find helping each other in these modern individualistic times so important. Especially that strangers help each other out. That we can open our homes for souls on travel. It's a way to travel that makes it much for personal, and you get to come much closer to the people and culture. And it's cozy and brings a feeling of home while traveling. We humans we are made to help and support each other and we need and want to do it more then we do, I think.
When I settle down soon somewhere, I would be happy to host surfers as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Converting a van to a cozy home and traveling with it alone with my cat from Norway to Catalonia

Silent meditation retreats with Open Dharma, my teacher, Jaya Ashmore

My travels to India

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to cook a meal.
If you'd like I'd love to meditate a little together and I can guide the meditation with some supportive words.

Some of my life quotes: I'm interested in what it means to be human. To really live and be fully alive - right here in this body and moment. Beyond the coming and goings of the mind and emotions.

To let life be lived through you. Not controlling life in a certain way, but following your inner guidance and life's own movement of things.
