About Me

ABOUT ME
After quite some traveling I now live in the beautiful city of Toulouse
Exchanges with different cultures have always intrigued me

I love nature, kundalini yoga, coffee and inspiring encounters
Quality is the purpose, not quantity

In people I very much appreciate kindness and good manners :)

CURRENT MISSION
My mission on CS is to experience unique moments with unique people

PHILOSOPHY
Authenticity, kindness, exploration, creativity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s a fantastic way to meet people and travel at the same time (even while staying at home)!

Interests

My great passion are plants. I couldn’t live without them. My particular favorites are Hoyas because they are just stunning with regards to diversity in shape, color and (!) scent. But there are many other fascinating epiphytes on this planet as well!
