CURRENT MISSION

Life is here and now, and it was never better!

ABOUT ME

My life is like a film, as the film "Happy Go Lucky" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMwD7Zy6Vno

Going towards veganism and less drinking for ethical and health reasons. Do not suggest taking a drink with me.

I love to go by train. I think it works as my peaceful place "in between." it is like meditation. But also as a place for inspiration.

Honesty, straightforwardness is one of the most important things in my life. I expect people to say what they want, feel, think, not to make me guess.

Feminism is important as well. Ynestra King wrote: "I am not interested in an equal slice of a rotten pie."

I want to host people to understand and share that view of the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to see places through the eyes of other people, get a glimpse how it is to live in that town or village, to visit their favourite places, rather than the Top 5 sightseeing attractions. I surf a lot at my friends' places around Europe, but I also use airbnb where my preferences are real people homes rather than fully commercial apartments. It is also nice to now and then meet new worlds through this site.
I have also hosted a couple of times on CS.

Interests

I like swimming in the ocean.

And I love colorful dresses.

I use to write postcards to my friends.

I am the one warming up the dance floor and then dance the whole night long.
