About Me

I like to challenge myself and to step outside of my comfort zone as often as possible to allow personal growth and expansion in all areas of my life.
Immersing myself in new cultures, fresh environments, and meeting all kinds of people constantly inspires me.

I love helping others and I often volunteer at events like arts and music festivals.

PHILOSOPHY

The most crazy, irrational decisions are often the ones that we end up regretting the least.
If the path is beautiful, let's not ask where it goes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great way to connect with people from various backgrounds when travelling or moving to a new city. I have met a few of my best friends through this community and I hope to meet more like-minded awesome people!

Interests

What captures my attention is the 'seeing' of the grand picture of life, that could be in nature, in people and in our everyday moments of learning and experience.
My feelings for Mother Nature and all its beauty is intense. It brings me joy, calm and harmony.

I have a strong interest in personal development, understanding the self and the web of inter-connectedness.
I love spirituality and the magic of the Universe,

I'm also interested into permaculture, cultivating my own plants and growing my own food.
Other outdoor activities like hiking, biking, running which I do on a regular basis, as well as practicing yoga and walking alone in the forest is the best kind of medicine for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving above the Whitsundays Islands.
Driving across the outback from Sydney to Perth, sleeping under a zillion stars
Solo trekking through the Napali coast trail in Kauai was one of the most magnificent and challenging moments I have experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a great listener, deeply compassionate, I enjoy philosophical discussions about life, healing, love, etc.
Everyone has a story to tell. I love hearing about people's passions and what drives them.
I particularly love learning from others and experiencing life through their lens for a little while.

I love making vegetarian dishes, delicious smoothies, matcha and chai latte and raw vegan feasts on a regular basis. Cooking for others is one of my passion!
