Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a nomadic artist and activist. I am driven by my sense of mission - which sometimes changes, but it's very important for me to feel aligned with my goals and hopes. I want to contribute to the positive changes of this world, spreading beauty, awareness, kindness and love. While being a human sensitive to my own vulnerability, full of compassion for me and for others <3
I'm a documentary filmmaker and VJ - at the moment I find my mission in creating ethical feminist pxrn movies, contributing with my filmmaking skills to social projects, co-creating transformative educational spaces and events. The most dear areas of activism for me are feminism, climate change, ecofeminism and intersectionality. I've organised socially oriented music events and festivals and I'm part of activist networks around ecofeminism and human rights.
I'm striving to live sensitively and have a positive impact on my environment. I'm a vegan for 8 years now. I love cooking vegan and spending a lot of time over dinner or breakfast tables with cute humans on interesting conversations :) I dance twerk and dancehall (not at all a pro though!) and I love any kind of intuitive or guided movement.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I found out about Couchsurfing, I'm discovering it's whole charm :) I've once visited a host in Prague and I found CS really opening and nice. I've spent purely magical time in Venice thanks to it, and unexpectedly great time in Riga with an unexpected host, which happened to repeat regularly :D I've made so many great friends in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, I got at least three "second homes" there. Couchsurfers I've met so far were mostly amazing people!
Interests
Visual art, filmmaking, photography, intersectional environmentalism, social structures, gender dynamics, holistic health are my main interests. But I also love meeting interesting people, knowing beautiful places, laughing, cooking, singing to a guitar, gaining new experiences, reading, being in the bosom of nature...

Music, Movies, and Books
As an operator and editor I'm most crazy for movies with beautiful shots :) so titles like Grand Budapest Hotel, High Rise, Dune excite me but I have a terrible memory for titles so let's discover more over a conversation ^^ I love good documentaries, i.e Patricio Guzmán is a director I adore.
I listen to a lot of electronic music these days, a lot of organic downtempo oriental. Some soul, r&b and latino rhytms for shaking my booty.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Driving a motor boat in Gran Canal in Venice! / Climbing Rinjani, second highest volcano in Indonesia, on my birthday, with best friends. / Winning a video competition with a vlog promoting Eastern Visayas - region of Philippines destroyed by typhoon Haiyan. / Vipassana course, making two wonderful friends on the course, travelling with one of them to Vietnam and getting a matching tattoo. / Joining Extinction Rebellion and giving it my 100% for over a year.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach me anything :) I can teach you how to make beautiful travel photos, Adobe stuff if you only have time, basics of abhyanga massage, twerk, and some polish language. Together we can learn everything and definitely we can share experiences, memories and opinions.
