Hiii!🌸 I'm Ioana and i love to travel and make new friends. I'm a very sociable, optimistic and energetic person. My hometown is Bucharest, but i leave a small piece of my soul everywhere i go✨ i share my house with two cute cats and in my spare time i love to go on hikes, read, take care of my plants, walk barefoot and stay in the sun as much as I can☺️
One of my main love languages is cooking and I'm also affectionate & empathetic with the people i care about. In my family I'm the older sister, which made me to be a fun but also responsible person hehe
And if you're wondering about what i'm working: I'm a freelance makeup artist and i usually work in the romanian film & theater industry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Might seem obvious, but I'm looking for accomodation. Recently my dear childhood friend gave birth to a beautiful sweet baby and i have to take the auntie role seriously! So since she's moved from the county, i have to travel to see her and her newly built family and cook them some traditional romanian soup. She misses romanian food a lot, so somebody has to take that matter into hands. But since their house is full, i chose to find another place where to sleep over the night🤍
Also also also I looove making new friends & experiences!

Interests

I think i said many of them in the description, but I'll accentuate them here: music, arts, philosophy, spirituality, psychology, sports in the nature (yoga, hiking, swimming, kayaking, stand up paddle and so on), nature, happiness and living a free life, traveling, family and friends. And my cats. Always my cats.

Music, Movies, and Books

Every kind of music, but the closest to my heart is jazz and electronica. My favorite movies are "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Climax" aaand the first half of Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams". And for books I'd say "Nostalgia" by Mircea Cărtărescu, "One hundred years of solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and i also love reading short stories and also also i have a passion for the religions of the world and spirituality. and philosophy & psychology but i didn't dive too deep in that yet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Mongolia last year and i cried in their temples. It amazed me how pure is the energy of those lands. I don't know if it's something amazing, but it's something that impressed me really hard

Teach, Learn, Share

I live my life through Tao and I'm open to learning any new lessons. I can help with my cooking skills, my solar and easygoing energy☀️☺️ and I'm a pretty handy girl, so if you need help with fixing things around the house and maybe painting things, I'm in!

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, in the morning you'll see a smile on my face (and mostly during the day too), then I'll make some tea or coffee, I'll cook some tasty and full of love meals and then we can share about our life experiences and joke a lot.
