About Me

I'm a single mom with three children. My life is full of adventure: the second best is traveling, the first is my family, 'cause to have children is the adventure of a lifetime! :-)
I'm a very lucky person for being so optimistic and lifeloving. No matter what happens I always look for the reasons, what I have to learn and what will I gain from the situation. This helped me trough a lot of hardships and led me to stay openhearted for whatever comes...
I consider myself a creative, artloving woman, I love to work with clay and every time I open the kiln after fire my works, I feel like it's Christmas day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never wanted to travel as a tourist. Enywhere I go to visit, I LIVE there. From day one, I eat my pastry at the closest bakery like all the locals and I never was homesick in my life 'couse my home is inside me, not a spot on the map. So, when I travel I want to know the locals as close as possible and what could be a better way to do that, than to stay and live with them.
My biggest travel-adventure (so far) was when I spent half a year in Australia, crossing the dessert by finding accomodation with friends and their friends. This happened back in the pre-Couchsurfing times, but it was someting very similar. I loved the experience of meeting so many great people. For me, life is about connections, I believe that we learn the most important lessons by how we make (and break) them.
I also like to be a host. I love good food, I love to share the great places that only locals know, I enjoy when it's time to chill, but I also love to dance till dawn!
