CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to enjoy and learn from whatever I'm doing. At the moment I'm in the process of publishing my first book and making music with my band after a few years' break.

ABOUT ME

My name is Tamara and I live in a cosy little flat with my 5 year-old Svarun, my biggest teacher in and of life. I am lots of things: a writer, a singer, a songwriter, a storyteller, a sharer, a mother, a woman, a teacher, a bitch, but most importantly - I am a student. For the past seven years I have been tuning into myself and as I realized that pretty much all of us are in this together, I began sharing my story.

I love hanging out and meeting like-minded people, talking and saving the world. I enjoy making music, celebrating, cooking, eating, dancing, laughing, chilling, being silly with my son, stretching, cocreating. Everything natural gives me thrills: wholesome food, living in tune with the Great Mother, barefoot walking in the woods. At the moment I'm menifesting a little cottage in the woods to live in.

PHILOSOPHY

It is my firm belief that each and every one of us is here with a unique cocktail of gifts and flaws that gives them their unique calling in life. Now, finding this calling is not where Life is at. Life is what happens on the way there, while looking for it. So it's imperative to Just enjoy the unfolding od the path, cause it's absolutely brilliant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Instead od asking myself "why", this time my question is "why not help, when I can?".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For the past few years I've not been able to travel as much as I would want, but having couchsurfers makes me feel like I am, at least a little bit. I love it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just love music. When I was a wee girl, I'd roam about with my casette player and a microphone, pretending to be a singer. Not much has changed, I daresay.

I adore books. Full stop. At the moment I'm all about Women who run with the wolves and my favourite book of poetry has got to be Love poems from God, ccollected by Daniel Ladinsky, featuring Hafiz, Rumi, Kabir and the likes.

I love movies, but lately I've mostly been watching cartoons. Last film I saw and loved, however, was Fantastic beasts and where to find them. One of my all time favourites is Chocolat (starring Juliette Binoche + Johnny Depp).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the Canarias with my 2,5 year-old to spend two months in a tent on the beach with no running water or electricity. I wrote a book (that's about to be published) and that, my friend, was a crazy little ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share some music with you.
I'd love to learn French and Spanish and the basics of natural building techniques.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, inspiring discussions, a hearty meal and a prescious view from one of my favourite spots on Earth.
