About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people, traveling around Europe!

ABOUT ME

I can talk about myself for hours on end and probably even write an entire autobiography overnight. But what's the point of meeting new people if you don't get to discover their personalities for yourself?

PHILOSOPHY

The speed with which we do, think, react and interact, acts as a measure of cognition.
In many instances, the faster we go, the briefer the intake from our environment, the more mono-dimensional and tunneled become our thoughts, and the more fragmented becomes our cognition, leaving us in the end with energy that looks like fine, scattered particles of dust.
At another extreme, our habitual speed limits us in another way - we respond to our environment far too slowly; we 'miss the boat,' or hold things up; our energy becomes inert and stagnant, and we approach the events of our lives with a trepidation and tentativeness that impedes a decision of which direction to go.
If we can learn to move with awareness - issues with 'fast' and 'slow' slip away, and we enter into the cognition as it applies to now, energetically experiencing a cohesion of BEING....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I am available for coffee and chat! Sorry, not hosting at the moment :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did hosted quite a few couchsurfers.... My first guest was amazing girl from Argentina, and I was hoping that all my guests will be like her - cultured, educated, interesting person. The second and third experience was mostly negative so I had to rearrange my strategy and philosophy for choosing the people I am going to host.
I also have to say that I was blessed to meet some very interesting people on CS and also became very good friends with some of them! I am really lucky to have a few new friends and I would not have met them without being a CouchSurfer!!!

Interests

Tai-chi, gi-gung, growing orchids...
Tango, milonga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was amazing to learn how to dance tango. Really. Try it yourself and you will discover a whole new world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn how to direct my energy and awareness to access the freedom of perception - the freedom to move past any limiting interpretations of our upbringing and culture to perceive energy directly. Would love to know about new possibilities which spring from an open heart, from bringing my best to the interchange.
