About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn about permaculture & medicinal herbs, practice in my garden, be aware of whatever comes on my path

ABOUT ME

I used to travel a lot, for now I just got my own home and enjoy being in the Netherlands with friends and family. I still love travelling, but shorter periods of time.
I'm really interested in other cultures, and enjoy being surrounded by beautiful nature.
Dancing (ecstatic dance) is my passion. I practice meditation and yoga almost every day.

PHILOSOPHY
Practice gratitude and (self) compassion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Help people who come to my city and make them feel at home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing in Iran was amazing. Just being with the locals and experiencing their amazing hospitality.

Interests

Walking, reading, travelling, cooking, health and food, spirituality, learning about gender inequality and women empowerment in underdeveloped countries.

I do Vipassana meditation, generally I meditate one hour in the morning and sometimes a few minutes in the evening. So this is a big hobby of mine, asides from that I love to be in the nature, I go to the forest almost every day, it's very close!
