About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Living life as a dancer and choreographer

ABOUT ME
Hi, I am a very warm-hearted person with a huge curiosity for other cultures and languages.
I love languages and as of today I speak 7 languages, most of them self-taught. The different sounds and words fascinate me and are like a door to other cultures and persons. I love to try and taste those other sounds and words as much as listening to the stories from the people where I travel.

When I was 10 we got an assignment in school to write a story. I took it very seriously and ended up with a 42 pages story about friendly aliens. I just couldn't stop writing and invented always more and more interesting details about the aliens. So I guess I had always this desire to get to know the unknown and exotic and I always pictured it very friendly - which proved me true, also thanks to couchsurfing (which is the only way of travelling that makes sense, by the way).

So that's me, someone happy to share her stories with you and happy to learn yours.

PHILOSOPHY
Have fun and challenge yourself but have fun :)
