About Me

I'm interested in all kinds of travel (but mostly I travel via train, hitch-hiking or just on foot (love that long hiking in mountains or forests)). I love art, all kinds of it. I love watching painting in art galleries, enjoy reading poems, books, watching films and theatre performance. I am also an actor in an amateur theater group and I love it!

I Don't smoke and I rather don't have any habits (but I gladly drink something ;-)) . I like pets (specially dogs) and I'm don't scary of them (but I'm a bit scary of spiders, sorry, no one is ideal). I love nature, long walks, wandering around. Always prefer to move than to stay and outdoor than indoor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and helping others. I will gladly host you, share my food with you and show you the city.

Interests

Theater is one of my biggest interest. I am an actor in the several theathre groups. I also write dramas.

I am also very keen on every kind of art. I love books, paintings, music, films... I wrote some short novels and poems and sometimes I sing.

I love art, I love people, I love love. This could sound silly but I really want to spread joy, love, help other people. I feel like this is my purpose here.

And at last, but not least, i really love meeting with people, talking, walking around, showing the city, checking some pubs and some forbidden, abandon, forgotten places where I like to spend time :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I forgot. I have a poor memory, you will need to ask my friends about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been doing a lot of tarot cards lately. If you want, I can tell your fortune.

I also like to wander and I will be happy to take you to some wild places in my area or we will discover something together. I also love singing, playing the guitar, and doing everything related to art and expression.

I can also make a balloon animal for you!

You can always ask my about red compost worms, you can wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me. I dare you. I will know the answers :P

I have been doing a lot of workshops on many topics, mostly public speaking, theater, improvisation and many ecology workshops like: making your own natural cleaning products, cosmetics, making your own compost bins (red worms, that's the secret), making bokashi balls, seed bombs, making bags from old t-shirts any many others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bed, guitar, food, computer, WIFI, stories, scary stories... All I can do :-)

I can also read you tarot cards :-)
