About Me

CURRENT MISSION

changed from "exploring the world" to "embracing myself and others"

ABOUT ME

I have been through thick and thin in my life and now when all the dramas seem to be history, recovering and healing and want to start enjoying things I love: hosting people, sharing our dreams and helping each other in achieving them!

Hobbies; dancing tango, making jewelry, sewing quilts, on the path to enlightment (yek!) , etc .

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of yourself first to be able to help others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted travellers from almost every corner, have tasted their cuisines (cooked in my small kitchen), have been explained cultural differences and realised we all have much in common!

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE IF I DO NOT REPLY AT ONCE. I usually reply immediately if I CAN accept a guest. If you did not get my answer during two days, it most probably means there is no opening. Thank you for understanding.
