About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow my intuition/heart

ABOUT ME

I'm always happy to get new experience, meet people, listen to their stories, work out my brain to be able to understand a bit more this complicated human nature, and life in general. I love to travel and not plan everything from A to Z but do things spontaneously, as it gives a wonderful feeling of freedom and is simply much more fun. I like taking my camera on trips - it's always a great companion. Art in general is something that is always part of my life - lately, I try to focus on illustrations (I never grew out of children's books). I just love going to bookshops or second hand shops and going through books (with no time limit) in search of stories or illustrations to find that one incredible gem...Apart from that, I love to be surrounded by bighearted people who appreciate and respect the spiritual part of life, nature and animals.

PHILOSOPHY

" I don't just want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally."

Zelda Fitzgerald

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I'm at home - the door to my house is always open for CS members. It's great having You around! I also had the possibility to spend a lovely time surfing - a big thank you to everyone who had me as their guest!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the greatest Couchsurfing exeperience I had was in Rome. Our host was a wonderful person who left us the keys to his apartment in the centre of the city. He took amazing care of me and my friend - one morning he woke us up with a smell of italian espresso and a croissant saying "breakfast is surved". Thank You so much for that:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with the sharkes in Florida. Maybe I should add that it wasn't anything that tourists pay for - it was an accident....Thankfully I'm still in one piece ;) ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be happy to exchange some artistic tastes, do a funcky photo session, get creative and messy with paint, mud, sand or anything we can think of, chat about the hidden spheres of life, holistic health, the birds, the bees, the flowers and the trees... Life gives enough topics!
