Hello! I am Janne. I love to wonder, ask questions and be open to people. Make a real connection.
For my project Seize your moments, I traveled around the world to collect beautiful moments. I invited people who travel with me by train/plane to draw their beautiful moments. My experience is that people get so happy when they think for a moment about the good things that happen to them. And by seizing a lot of moments I hope to make a lot of people happy!

PHILOSOPHY

Live is good.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At home I host and while traveling I like to couchsurf a lot because that's the best and most fun way to meet new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I couchsurfed was magical. Not only the ice skating we could do, but the warmth with which we were welcomed. The conversations were had were very good and open. wow.

Interesses

People, travelling by train, literature, being in nature, hiking, rock climbing, board games, learning, playing, weird questions, happiness and how people seize their moments, I like to play with perspectives and questions surrounding it. What are chances, opportunities and possibllities and what makes that someone goes for them?

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

amazing things for me are moments like eating really good oranges with my mother and enjoying the birds outside.
Or a man I met in train who didn't knew what beautiful moments he had because he was in a clinic recovering from his live on the street and suddenly realised what was good about today. The train he was in. When he started to draw this he showed it to other passengers each time after a few stripes of pencil. A woman said: You're an artist.
Swimming in a dark cave in Vietnam, clearing a path in Norway and riding on the rooftop of a bus in Kathmandu Valley. Also a transport with the Flying doctors turned out to be great fun.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I like to know more about your world view, how do you see things? What drives you? Do you think the world is a happy place or not? What makes you a positive person? I know a lot about doing cool projects and how to realize them. About how language works. And would be happily sharing this knowledge with you.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I love a good conversation and I'm happy to cook for you.
