I am a quirky little artist who was born to a beautiful Ukrainian mademoiselle and a steadfast, tall German. It must have been the long, scorching summers in Ukraine that made me go, 'Right, there's a world out there I need to discover. It's not all about cabbage and sausage,' like my German heritage would have me believe. So I set off at age 13 to study English at a seemingly haunted boarding school in the Yorkshire Dales, got a feel for the unknown and went on to fall in love with India where I subsequently settled for a year of naans, nanas and rice.

I am also a vegan fruit bat, bursting to share health and nutrition with others, save animals and people through food and happiness and carb up like a champ.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am young and curious. Wanna see it all and breathe in unknown climates. The idea of sharing is often forgotten in our lives and yet we all like to see other people happy.

Interests

I love the simple things in life. Give me sun, heat, fruits and new knowledge. I'll be as happy as a monkey. Even happier when I get to make new friends, meet people from around the globe and share good times.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's quite random really. Anything classical floats my boat (I am not joking. I AM that archaic).
Bob Dylan, Queen, Youssou N'Dour, A.R. Rahman, Chavela Vargas, Lila Downs, Yasmin Levy.

African, Indian, Spanish folk music...anything exciting, epic, touching and moody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going vegan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sugar is life. No carbs, no life, no fun. Also makes for a young appearance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long talks or reflective silence. I'm good at both. Great food. Dance, photography, sing songs all day long and the funniest voices.
