CURRENT MISSION

breaking my own borders, facing the hours.

A 31 year-old student of life. Patient (or not so much...), trying to accept what it comes and what it has come. Active wishing productive. Introspective. Admiring lonesome moments. Never forgets people. Ironical and sarcastic quite often, but not rude might be taken as arrogant, not sure why. Sometimes resembles a marionette, falling apart everywhere, not very gentle. But sensitive. Likes to discover things by herself, especially hidden places in cities... Likes walking through cities. And walking barefoot in forests, in the grass, in the sand.

...A love for all forms and expressions of arts. Literature, dance, theater, visual arts. A enourmous respect for the work of art and the community, as a tool of inspiration and change. Part of the transition and permaculture movement.
I want to be part of that change(:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting my family and meeting people outside it. Getting lost in the world... and finding my own place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I suffer from verbhorrea (actually, it's really verbiage - but I prefer verbhorrea) so that might be a good start. One thing I would share my knowledge about and would be wiling to know more would surely be artistic political posters or propaganda posters. Although I might share and be willing to learn (with practice of course) some new recipes! As well as languages, wine tasting or yoga.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My book collection... and tour guide through my wonderful city. Two lovely cats and one dog. My tasty cooking.
