Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore India and myself.
I have been traveling for 2 1/2 years so far, first visiting several countries in SE Asia, then living in Australia for almost a year. I've found so many wonderful places on my trip, so I ended up staying fairly long in some places. I can't even describe how much the beautiful people I meet on the road benefit and inspire me to evolve more and get creative. My experience gets better every day and I feel that India will broaden my horizon even more. I am very excited to be in India after wanting to come here for the past 2 years! I explored Europe a bit last summer when I went on a big festival tour, dancing my way through the world. ;) I am not so good at describing myself, so I'll just stop here but I hope that the rest of my profile gives you at least an idea of who I am and if you're interested in being part of my journey, message me. I am happy about every person that steps into my life and positive that we can learn from each other in various ways.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to meet people that actually live in the cities I visit. It is amazing to be shown around by someone that knows the secrets of the place ;) also, I like to make contacts with locals and learn from each other!
Interests
I love dancing! It is my form of meditation. I am completely happy when I am dancing and I wanna share my energy with everybody I meet. I dance all the time, combining all different forms of dancing.
I love going to festivals, mainly psytrance festivals! I completely fell in love with the community at those festivals, with the art, with the different kinds of music, with the crazy dancers everywhere!
I love diving! I found a new passion in the ocean. Weightless and free, exploring this fascinating world of a million tiny and huge creatures. Can't wait to get back in the water :)
I love Yoga! There are so many different kinds of Yoga and they all benefit me in different ways..it is incredible! My favourite kind it Yin Yoga and I enjoy my own practice just as much as teaching it.
I love meditation and India is the perfect place for me to go deeper. I really want to do a Vipassana course.
I love drawing, painting, making jewelry... basically just being creative!
I just got a guitar and am learning at the moment. I love singing and hopefully one day I'll be able to do both at the same time ;)
- animals
Music, Movies, and Books
Every kind of music I can dance to :) I love everything with a lot of bass to dance to, I love good techno, I love acoustic music, I love classical music. It doesn't really matter what the genre, I love basically everything that has soul.
I love reading books on psychology or spiritual matters. The Art of Happiness, A New Earth, The Prophet are some of my favorites as they inspire me to self reflect and evolve. I love it when a person recommends a book, I love it even more when a book recommends a person ;)
Movies...everything that is intelligent, trippy, abstract or simply just made well.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've overcome my terrible fear of drowning and absolutely fell in love with the ocean! <3
Teach, Learn, Share
I love dancing and I am happy to share the art of it with anyone who is interested :) Have you tried ecstatic dancing? You should. It is my form of meditation and just pure happiness.
I am learning guitar at the moment and would be super happy to learn more from you. There's nothing better than jamming together :)
I am super interested in languages (I am a translator after all) and if you wanna learn from me or teach me one of your languages, I'd love it!
I am learning a lot about photography right now and I would love to learn more. I have a decent digital camera and a good eye for detail and I would love to practice and learn more.
I started making jewellery and I am excited about learning more in India and upgrading my skills. I can show you what I've learned so far and maybe we can craft together :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Like I said, dancing is my passion and I'll share with you if you're interested! I love to sing and play music with others. I'm doing a lot of meditation and Yoga (basically every kind from Vinyasa to Yin to Acro) and I'd be happy to practice together :) We can get creative and make art or craft together!
I am absolutely crazy about any kind of animal! Try to wrestle that street cat out of my embrace..! ;) So if you have a pet, I'll gladly help taking care of it!
