What I value and seek the most is authentic connection with people. I love meeting people from different cultures, discovering what they need, fear, or long for, what their thoughts are, how the world looks like through their eyes. I'm on a path of embracing authenticity and simplicity in my life and I seek to face my fears and let myself be seen.

I have a strong need to express myself and I fulfill it through various forms of art. I'm not a professional artist in any area, but I do believe that every person has a creative potential and that its expression brings along more freedom and self-awareness. I see my life as my own responability, I think I am the one who creates it, with every thought and intention I have. I believe it's not about what happens to me, but about what I create out of it.

I have a strong adventurous spirit, I enjoy travelling, being spontaneous and I tend to seek experiences that have a potential to help me grow, learn and go beyond what I already know about myself. I'm also a daydreamer and sometimes have trouble getting in touch with reality :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the idea of meeting people from different countries from all over the world is trully fascinating. I believe that travelling is a lot more personal and exciting this way, for you get to know the other's stories or memories about that city.

Interests

I'm currently taking theatre classes, I love painting and writing and I greatly enjoy my work as an art therapist. I am also very fond of travelling and discovering new cultures.

The simple things also bring me a lot of joy, like walking, watching a bird fly, listening to music, reading a good book, laying on the grass on a sunny day, hugging people :).

I love discussing ideas with people who inspire me and I aim at challenging myself every day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think every moment is a learning experience, you just have to be open. I can't teach anything, but I can share my own experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts
