About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become my best me and with that be of service to humanity.

ABOUT ME

I wish to make the best out of my life and bring more harmony to the world. I m woking as a therapist, with Chi Nei Tsang, taoist abdominal massage, my hearts devotion as well as dedicating again to writing.
I enjoy traveling and immerse in different cultures and traditions and weave long term connections with people from all over the world. I enjoy children a lot. I also love animals so I do not eat them and I don't judge those who do. Love to dance and sing, travel and write. I tend to be informal, appreciate nature, spiritual realms and community oriented.

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is to Heal. Means to become enlightened for the sake of all.
I always like this sentence: "Love as a shield, truth as a sword".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can not host because I am traveling. But I am looking forward to have a place to stay for a longer periods of time, where I can also receive and be a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It makes so much sense to me the idea and concept of a worldly community and meeting people: locals, residents, who can give me a deeper glimpse of the surroudings I visit during the opportunity that it is to travel. Its been very rich experience to have the time to be with a such a vast diversity of people.

Interests

Meditation, spiritual and natural healing and simple living methods. Singing and music in general, preferably all art that create in us a feeling of transcendency. Dance freely and Im a student of indian classical dance - Odissi. Globetrotter, writing, nature, peace, silence.
