Namaste! Shalom!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share, open our hearts and homes again for each other to create special moments to remember.

Interests

Driving around in my old Peugeot J5 from 1989, exploring the nearby rivers and countryside or escaping to the next coast.

Fact: I have about 70 different plants in my home. I am happiest being sourrounded by green, mostly in the mountains.

Constantly earning more about astrology, energy work, reiki and healing, personal development and finding myself within me. The longest and most intense journey ! Hari Om !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This thing was probably the most dangerous but also the most spectacular and adventurous thing I've ever done. The 18 day hike though the Himalayas, together with new friends I made in Kathmandu we dared the 'Annapurna Circuit' during a hard winter month, and we made it. Paulo Coelhos book 'The Alchemist' supplied us the matching quote to reach the top point on 5.416m : “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” and Alt-J, together with Eddie Vedder was responsible for the musical framework during our hike. It was an amazing tip, I will never forget.
