About Me

I guess I am late bloomer when it comes to embracing the Nomad within. I love learning new things, going to new places, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am just starting Couchsurfing so will see how it all works out. I like to travel on a shoestring and feel we should all travel more. Many do not take a vacation abroad or travel out of their "comfort zone" because it's too inconvenient. I like to connect with the people and the culture I am in, and the best way to do that is to be in someone's home.

Nowadays I find myself knitting while listening to pods or watching documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2015 I worked as a Glacier Guide in Iceland – that was quite amazing. The icebergs were beautiful and fascinating and I never tired of their natural beauty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have spend decades of my life teaching massage and bodywork so know a whole lot about that. I am also a baby massage instructor, baby swim instructor, Pilates instructor and Yoga instructor. I have an interest and a talent for Feng Shui and space clearing and can work wonders with cluttered and disorganized spaces.

I'd like to learn how to dance Tango, Salsa, Jitterbug and Lindy Hop, as well how to speak Spanish and French.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess I have gathered some life experience during the plus five decades I have walked this earth. I have lived and loved fiercely and searched for truth and healing. I'll be happy to share what I have learned so far on my journey through life.
I am also quite domestic and you will find me volunteering for cleaning up after a meal. I can walk your dog, water your plants or clean your bathroom, too.
