About Me

If I could use just three adjectives to draw myself, those would be: enthusiastic, intuitive and commited. You should bring some black tea and cookies (okaaaay, I'll bring the cookies) to get some more colours for the sketch.

I tend to focus on the important things of life: basics (breathing, eating, sleeping...), relationships and learning. To me, work is a vehicle to bring something good to my community and do my part for the change the world needs. My inner child is still awake and she usually gets part of my attention (love clowning around, playing, joking), even at work (imagination), so you may see her too if you're patient and respectful enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I like most is that CS makes me travel both actively when I'm the guest and passively when I'm the host and new friends open a window to me from home towards the world.

Interests

I feel so lucky I've made a living from my interests: I'm an architect and a lindy hop (swing dance) teacher. A multi-task girl indeed!
I'm really into art, design, cities and movement. In my spare time I love using my hands for knitting, pottery, sketching, writing, painting... I'm a super handy person.
I love cooking surrounded by good music and company (the good vibe is always the best ingredient).
I do enjoy watching OV movies, travelling and trying new things out too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Currently living and working in Copenhagen. Hope someday (soon!) I'll be able to welcome guests and host them as nicely as I've always been hosted in many cities.

However, everybody's welcome for a glass of wine and a walk through the city :)
