Overview
About Me
Chocolate maker interested in what love does to us, body flexibility boundaries and art in all areas of life.
--
I live my life for dance, music, fresh coconuts when available, Ashtanga Yoga, embodiment, green tea, dark chocolate, nature in spring but also summer & autumn & winter, small narrow streets, exploring foreign and unknown cities, the smell of chestnut trees blossoms, sitting in the grass when it is so bright green, reading two books at the same time, riding a bicycle on a downward slope with my legs hanging, sitting under a palm tree, the eyes of the man I love and people that provoke questions or laughter.

Music, Movies, and Books
Currently, I am very much into folk music, Trevor Hall & Rising Appalachia. I listen to music while doing almost anything in daily life so I am always excited to find new artists and bands to listen to. Jazz, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Ben Howard, Bluegrass, Folk, Indie, Alternative, Swing music, Acoustic music, Blues.
There is something beautiful in almost any music style.
Books sometimes stand in the way of my social life :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living in Vietnam followed by years living in Iceland. Going from a colourful, tropical, hot & humid country where every day is wild and unpredictable to a beautiful, quiet and serene Iceland showed me that live is a song, a dance that can be slow or fast but beautiful all the way.
Hitchhiking my way from the northern-most corner of Thailand to a small island in the very south.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some basic swing steps - charleston, lindy hop. Also how to make hummus with different colours :D
Crochet stitch. Yoga if you're into that.
I can share tea, chocolate and most of all time.
I'd like to learn Spanish :) But also any other language and playing darbuka or other percussion. Mantras.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Smiles, food, tea, adventures, laughter, anything I have in my backpack that is worthed sharing.
