About Me

CURRENT MISSION

cultivating inspiration, love and hope. And kindness.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 32 years old violinist. I love to travel and meet new people, explore different cultures.. I'm new to CS, but I've done a lot of ridesharing. And this is one of my favorite things to experience because I do get to meet people from such different backgrounds, people who I would never have gotten an opportunity to get to know otherwise. And this allows me to travel the world, and it's so beautiful.

PHILOSOPHY

"Celui qui déplace une montagne commence par déplacer de petites pierres." Confucius

"Si tu veux construire un bateau, ne rassemble pas tes hommes et femmes pour leur donner des ordres, pour expliquer chaque détail, pour leur dire où trouver chaque chose... Si tu veux construire un bateau, fais naître dans le cœur de tes hommes et femmes le désir de la mer." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is a blessing to be able to meet and get to know people from different cultures, with diverse backgrounds and views..

I did host people before: friends of a friend of a friend, and also happened to randomly meet and help out some folks who were new arrivals to Canada. But I really don't have any experience with CS.. yet..

Interests

I really love nature. I just can't survive without nature: there's something so pure, beautiful and powerful...
Reading is my hobby: I like it more then watching movies because it leaves more space to imagination. I really wish I had more spare time for it..
I love music and dance. Music improvisation and dance are the closest to the feeling you get when you fly, I think :)
And I really enjoy getting to know people from different countries and backgrounds! This is partially why I am so passionate about travelling. Thanking life for those beautiful and memorable moments de encuentras hermosas.

Music, Movies, and Books

Henrich Boll and Selma Lagerloff are my favorite authors.
Don't watch movies so much..
Love music: latin, classical, jazz, rock, love old records..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned to play viola in 5 days for a tour in Poland where I my first viola performance was a solo piece with an orchestra. Which I had to learn in no time. That was pretty crazy..

The most amazing things I've seen.. Tuscany hills? Prague's fairy tale evenings? light sparkling in the raindrops on the leaves? A sunrise by a lake in the forest?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing beautiful moments, drinks, dinner..
I can teach you some Russian, French, Spanish...
I can try to teach you some salsa dancing maybe. Maybe play some music if you happen to have an instrument.. hm... what else... I'm sure I have some other hidden talents....
