About Me

Im a social scientist, have a deep interest society and people. Apart from work i love being with friends and lots of cultural and outdoor activities - travelling is one way for that ( there is a hidden cultural anthropoligst in me, i know). Since i have 3 children, i can do less travelling, but we try - would love to live in different countries with them too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because i love meeting people , i am just deeply interested in how they live, what they like and dislike etc. . its just fun... and helps us stay open-minded.

Interests

Tavelling, and talking to people, dance (contemporary, contact and the like) - both doing it and watching perfornances, being outdoors, gardening, doing crafts .
Thanks to my kids i am interested in attachment parenting, psychology, alternative pedagogy (they all go to Steiner Waldorf school), homebirth and natural healing techniques, homeopathy.

A trip in South India with a good friend, which was both adventurous and spiritual. Would love to go back there once. Love the colors, smells, faces etc. of India.
But helping as a doula at my friend's giving birth to her child was also quite an amazing experience.
