Glasgow life

ABOUT ME

I am trying to live compassionately, with love and passion for every thing that I do and every being that I meet.
I am no loud kind of girl.

I am a treetalker and a booksniffer. A windlistener, a storyteller and a stargazer. A people lover but crowd fearer, a music savourer but noise avoider, a wild thing but a tender spirit.

Personally, I love art and make it, mainly painting. I believe in the holiness of Gaia, our Mother Earth, and I strive to tread Her lightly. Still, Her beauty ignites in me the fire that makes me want to travel, and so I do it, and I feel like it is a prayer.

Socially, I am not a shy person, but I am a recovering people pleaser, so I like to take it slow.
I am also silly, funny, I like good talks and jokes, I love to dance and organise meetings.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to teach people how to build a boat, don't give them hammer and wood.
Make them dream of the big wide sea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted my share and have surfed quite a few times, under very different circumstances.
I like to organise meetings and share my house.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS has changed my life in a way nothing else has so far. I have gone to places, met people and done things that I would never have believed I could before I entered this community. It has provided me with friends, a family, places to live and anything else you could think of.

Mainly though...the feeling of having a friend waiting in every place I may go... what more could one say?

Interests

I love everything that's colorful, stuffed toys, a lot of sunshine, big orange moons in the sky, old fashioned country and folk music, everything magical, exploring the world with bare feet, overcoming my fears, googling everything I don't know,handling a sword, dancing with my eyes closed, and slowly becoming who I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read classic books and biographies. Reading and immersing myself in a story has never been quite the same after reading "The Lord of the Rings", which, to me, remains the greatest story that ever there was. I did enjoy Harry Potter a lot, and I like philosophic writers like Jostein Gaarder, and Terry Pratchett.
My favourite music comes from people such as the Beatles, Willie Nelson, Jonny Cash, John Denver, Tina Turner, and other old school artists.
I'm not a fan of sad, scary or brutal movies - life is bad enough as it is. I like to watch Disney with a critical eye, and I'm in love with most Studio Ghibli animes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying awake for a whole winter's night on my own beside the campfire somewhere up in the mountains, watching space turn slowly as time goes by...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of crafty (knitting, sewing, papercrafts...) and some diy skills. I have a basic knowledge of natural remedies and I can help you if you're interested in natural beauty and cleaning products.
I like to share stories and gifts, I can cook some traditional Swiss food.
Pick one! ;o)
