CURRENT MISSION

Finding the answer to "what's next?"

ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous, open-minded, perceptive, quirky, creative, and have a big heart. I'm introverted, but also playful and a pretty open book. So...a mix of things.

PHILOSOPHY

Always growing.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have only stayed as a guest. My place in Seattle was too small to host, and I'm currently in Mexico with a terrible couch that I would not wish on anyone lol

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just once, in Paris. It was a wonderful part of my trip!!

Interessen

I'm currently obsessed with a partner dance form called UrbanKiz (evolved from Kizomba, which originated in Angola).

Nature and art are my heart. I love animals, plants, film, painting, photography, sailing, travel, cooking, champagne and cracking jokes. I've also studied various healing arts and am devoted to wellness and being active/fit.

I'm a learner and explorer. I'm inspired by those who live authentically and passionately.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

SO many!

I like a wide variety of music. Lately I tend toward chill/relaxing (but not somber) vibes.

I'm a film buff so could talk about that for hours. My favorite genre is probably sci-fi but I'm more interested in directors and performances than sticking to a genre. The cinematography, soundtrack, pacing...there are so many factors that make or break a film. I love talking about that stuff.

I was one of those bookworm kids so I grew up reading nonstop. As an adult, I seem to have shifted and don't read much anymore. My most recent read was Philip Pullman and I'm looking forward to his final release in the Book of Dust series.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I went on a trip to the Bahamas and spent a week on a catamaran, and just fell in love with that boat.. AND every day we swam with wild dolphins. For hours! It was mesmerizing. They're amazing creatures, plus the water was just gorgeous. The colors, the breezes.. it was a sensory experience on every level, and the dolphins were magical.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Anything I've spent time learning I am happy to share/teach with others. And there is always something to glean from others' experiences. I know that's super broad, but...well, so are my experiences and everyone I meet is unique!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'm a respectful guest, and the feedback I get is positive – so hopefully what I share most is good vibes!
