I AM NOT ACCEPTING GUEST because I do not have my own place at the moment. In the future I am looking forward to host again!

I love creating, crafting, writing, food, meeting new people and exploring the world.

My greatest passion is storytelling; capturing and documenting human consciousness.

I create art with the purpose of healing; expression, integration and transformation. In life, we experience so much fragmentation of thought and feeling. For me, creating art bring back together the parts I have lost touch with.

I love Armadillos and baby wombats and cheese lots of cheese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people and stepping outside my comfort zone has helped me to find myself and keeps me healthy and happy.

When I was younger I was shy and afraid of a lot of things, scared of strange people. Travelling has helped me to open up and let down my guard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love the life I am living, every day is an adventure and I never know where I will be and what will happen next!

Some highlights:

- Petra in Jordan took my breath away
- The pyramids and temples in Egypt
- Jumping of waterfalls and sleeping in the jungle in Malaysia

Next thing I want to do is swimming with blue whales in Tonga!

Teach, Learn, Share

Every person knows something you don't. In my work I always seek to help the others see that they are more than they think they are.

With every person I meet I try to see the essence of who they are and of course I like to have fun, explore new places, taste new things and laugh a lot!
