Hello there! I'm a happy girl with an inexplicable drive to travel, see, share, learn and laugh. Although very appreciative of silence, I enjoy company to share life's wonders and lesser wonders with, I'm well up for anything crazy and new and firmly believe we all can make a difference, however small, so everyone can enjoy equal rights and love in our beautiful world. Oh yeah, and I love running, yoga, swimming, outdoor sports and walking.

PS: i have absolutely no interest in any romantic meet-up.

Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar (Wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking).

For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see..
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. T.E. Lawrence.

Transforming the world is possible because the very complex forces of interconnection that make systems resistant to change are the same ones that can be harnessed to propel change. (E. Young)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living, laughing, reading and travelling are very similar actions: a continuous opportunity to learn, share and be amazed at what we and the world can offer us. The least we can offer each other is mutual respect, a bed and some food :)

Interests

I'm most likely up for anything I haven't tried yet - apart from getting stuck in an elevator. I love being on the move, even more than arriving, chatting to people, staring

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending the last days of the most wonderful intense time with those people that made it wonderful on the roof of a high building in Copenhagen, sitting out the short hours of darkness and watching the sun coming up in a screaming silence...

Climbing Mt. Mayon, the most active volcano in the Philippines, while on Level 3 eruption alert!

swimming in the ocean during a tropical storm.

Teach, Learn, Share

Over the past years, so many unexpected colourful, lively, sweet, interesting, intelligent, loving people passed by from which I learned and loved so much.. I wouldn't be the person I am now if it wasn't for all those people who shared a piece of them. As such, it wouldn't be fair to say who I enjoy meeting and learning from... open up and take up every opportunity to engage in a meaningful conversation or silence, learn with your heart and feel what all these wonderful people have to teach you and give back all you have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to cook for you or try out your local dish, (hopefully) interesting chats, banter, laughter and smiles.

- People may forget what you say, but they never forget how you made them feel!
