ABOUT ME
As my beautiful Couchsurfer described me: I'm like a Young Puppy Dog full of energy and wanting to play!
Full of life, happiness and energy. Always laughing, being funny, crazy and silly, finding enjoyment out of the little things life has to offer. In 2012 I had an amazing 10 months travelling all over Europe. Now I've been travelling almost 2 years. I studied yoga in India and have been teaching in turkey and Greece in retreat and holistic centres.
PHILOSOPHY
I think good things come to good people. If you are positive and always open to adventure then life is always eventful and interesting. Everything happens for a reason and I think we need to stop and listen closely to ourselves otherwise we will miss all the signs. People come into our lives and can change them for the better if we are ready to listen and share a bit of ourselves with those around us then beautiful things can happen.
I love health and fitness :)
YOGA, for the mind, body and soul. Positive vibes cure the world! There is plenty love to go around.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfing is one of the best things I have ever been a part of. Some of my best friends from all over the world started out as strangers on my couch or vice versa. Now they are by my side in this beautiful journey even if on the other side of the world.
This year we want to do Workaday Volunteer jobs, Hike in Scandinavia, Visit our couch surfers and see more of the world.
Love to talk, cook, eat, share travel photographs, share music.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm so blessed with all the positive couchsurfing experiences I've had. I love to be able to host when I have time.
Interests
I love photography, that is what I studdied. Anything outdoors and exploring, a new day, a new adventure. Meeting people and learning about a new culture, there is nothing better. Taking in a new place with all my senses - eating the local food, listening to its music, the smell, taste, taking it all in with my eyes. I love snowboarding, and extreme sport photography.
I love yoga, and practice in a hot room (38 degrees).
Ive started writing everyday, it clears my mind and helps me focus, and a gratitude diary reminds me that life is beautiful.
I enjoy reading too.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
