I'm Zoë, working as an art director in film and am hungry for more body connection so now I'm also a yoga teacher, taking opera singing courses, with plans of organising body-and voice work gatherings.

Textures in nature, animals, any type of music with preference for alternative electronic stuf, metal stuff, folk inspired stuff, alternative rock stuff, PJ Harvey, Eartheater, that sort of thing. I love Portuguese Fado and dream of singing with the same embodiment of emotions as those melodramatic singers.

I'm a cheerful, easy-going person who loves to share, I can be shy but am outgoing and at the same time. I like being alone and then being there with you 1000% depending on the day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is expensive so why not share.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many genres, too many kinds of sound.

I love Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Berman, Robert Bresson, Abbas Kiarostami, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fassbinder,...

I don't read as much as I'd like to so I started reading three things at once which was not such a smart idea... Currently reading Notes on the Cinematography by Bresson, Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietsche and just finished The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide, would recommend all of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got out of bed, still alive

Teach, Learn, Share

I love singing together with others and can teach you some of the techniques I've learned so far in my classes
I love to learn how to teach
Let's shake a bit together
Teach me painting techniques, the more the merrier
I love to discuss film and art in general, to find out how people think and feel and how they want to stand in the world as a person.
I also like cooking and would love to learn new traditional recipes from all over the world
