**CURRENTLY taking some time to travel the world and learn different things!**

I am a girl always trying out different things in life.
I studied china, cultural studies and graphic design.

I used to work in a youth organisation for a few years, but I quit my job to travel and do projects abroad for an undefined period of time.

I make contemporary stained glass windows.

And I love hiking and circus!

When I'm home, I'm often quite busy. Lately acrobatics are my new thing, along with the art academy and yoga.
In the evenings and weekends I like to meet up with friends to eat, chat, drink, dance, to see gigs or performances.
When I have longer time off, I try to travel

I get along with everyone, don't need much...can amuse myself but like to hang out with other people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I surf I try to surf the waves of my host, when I host I invite my guest to surf my waves. I'd love to get to know places differently through the eyes of a local, get to know hidden streets, local food stalls... Avoiding the stream of tourists is a good thing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having some wine on a Chinese desert hill under the full moon,
Running through streets in my underwear

Teach, Learn, Share

When there are three people walking, my teacher is bound to be among them. I select their good points and follow them. I take their bad points and change them in myself....A quote from Confucius that kind off says it all.
If you're eyes and ears are open, you can learn something from anything and anyone.
I thinks that's a very important thing while travelling, open yourself to the world.
