About Me

CURRENT MISSION

being happy and spreading it!

ABOUT ME

enthousiastic, flexible, young of heart and mind, unusual.

PHILOSOPHY

The way to enlightenment is a roundabout! The unexpected is fun! You can always contribute something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to all kind of experiences, even if it means getting wet, muddy, climbing on a JCB and arguing with the police.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I was a wwoof-host for 4 years and dossed down with friends in some unusual places.

Interests

I have lived in a tepee for 10 years without electricity and running water, I'm a bit of an eco-freak, eat only organic, but am not a vegetarian, I trained as a shaman. But I'm also a mother of four and a grandmother of three, a psychotherapist with her own practice living in a students house, because living on your own is a bit boring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy - books, my favorite author at the moment is Mercedes Lackey. I love her philosophy. My music-taste is eclectic, my music-files amount to 43 GB, but I don't play an instrument except my shamanic drum and Djembe (badly).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving one morning in the pyrenees and seeing a golden eagle perched on a rock about 10 yards away; sailing along the coast of Portugal in the night and hearing grunting like a pig, looking closely it were two small dolphins, swimming so close to the yacht I could nearly touch them;

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach shamanic journeying and love to share about shamanic experiences, I love cooking and people enjoy the results.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Greece, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands
