Monica H.'s Profile

I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers I have read; all the people l have met; all the women I have loved; all the cities I have visited - Jorge Lius Borges I like trees I like mountains I like oceans I like sun I like moon I like sand I like earth I like stone I like wind I like stars I like people, I really do. I like photography, films, music, art and design in general, philosophy, science, diving, hiking, reading, writing, painting, cooking (for the people I like!), wandering, doing nothing(it's not as easy as you think! ) I'm a writer and photographer. I've been traveling for a while. I make good food (I wanna put a trademark in the end of this sentence, Like, I make good food ™). I like cats. I am a scuba diver. I think too much. I prefer taking train to taking flight I write every day(take my money and passport, leave me my journal and pen). I still buy records and DVDs. I still use old film cameras. I like wandering around with no purpose. I like observing people, people watching. I laugh really loud. I like gummy bear. I like old stuff and enjoy imagining what it must have been like back then I still have faith in humanity and still see the kindness and goodness in people, You can call me naive. and here's a piece of advice that I've been giving myself. Take chances. Tell the truth. Date someone who's totally wrong for you. Say NO. Spend all your cash. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at stupid jokes. Cry. Apologise. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell a jerk what you think. Laugh till your stomach hurts. Live life. Regret nothing

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

Look, If there is one thing I love, Is to see people trust each other without asking anything for return. couchSurfing is beautiful, because we share and trust. We respect and learn. that's probably what we need in the world.

About

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie: In general I like Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrei Tarkovski, Bela Tarr, 楊德昌, Lars von Trier, Xavier Dolan. David Cronenberg, Pedro Almodóvar, Coen bothers, Music: The Doors, Pink Floyd, Joy division, The Velvet Underground, Tom Waits, New Orders, Radiohead,Pearl Jam, Explosions in the Sky,65Daysofstatic,This will destroy you,Mono(Japan) Mum,Godspeed you!,Mogwai,Sigur Ros,Yndi Halda,Massive Attack I mean, I like the music I haven't heard yet , too. Books : I used to read a lot more, Since I've became a writer I am a bit afraid to read now, I am afraid to read something that perfectly describes my feeling or thought, It hurts me from the inside. Hard to explain but I guess some of you would understand. But, The Stranger by Camus, Is the book that I will bring if I have to stay on an inhabited island forever. And, It's only until I grew up I realised how beautiful is Le Petit Prince.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

To love and to be loved.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can teach me anything and everything, I love learning. If you also think CouchSurfing has changed in the past couple of years,Let's save CouchSurfing together, It's not too difficult, We open a bottle of wine,We talk, Be authentic and genuine,We laugh like we're 9 years old, Then together we will realise CouchSurfing is not freehotel.com, There are things more important than saving money.

What I Can Share With Hosts

I can teach you how to do nothing (It's not easy, believe me, most people feel like they need to do something all the time.) Besides that,I'm a quite good story teller,That's my job basically.
