I am a mother, artist, and educator. Love music especially industrial, punk, goth, alternative, classical, jazz, swing, rockabilly, psychobilly, 20's - 50's and the likes. Love history, learning, philosophy, astronomy, science, life. I love meeting people and hearing all their stories. I especially love laughing and being silly. I am an eternal child! Also fascinated with the unknown.

I love life and try my hardest to spread that feeling. I believe that one person can make a difference and intend to do so. I live for my son, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me ( my best creation!). Art is my form of communication and I now teach others how to speak it. I love my family and friends and I always look forward to meeting new people. I love laughing and especially laughing with others. I am very honest and try my hardest to look at life through wonder filled eyes. I find most things exciting and can honestly say I have never been bored. I especially love the little things in life, such as the smell of rain, the sound of wind, raindrops on my eyelids, watching bugs, squishing my toes in mud, inventing creatures from stains on the grounds, shiny objects, fog, trees, clouds, and so forth. I am a firm believer that anything is possible if only you believe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tried couch surfing for the first time in 2008 and stayed 2 amazing ladies. Both showed me around the local scene and it was amazing.

Interests

Art, music, history, science, mathematics, learning, the unknown, talking about all things and thoughts of life, making a difference in the world...
I question everything and want to know how everything works and why and how and who invented it. I love listening to the soundtrack of where ever I am, paying attention to all the details. I am pretty much interested in everything, especially what I don't know. To me, that is the point of life, to gather and learn and experience everything possible. I am also very into dreaming and finding new worlds in everything I see. That is the basis of my art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done is become a mother. I also experienced the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. That was incredible. Also, the WTO in Seattle in 1999. Both changed my life forever. Also, pretty much every sunset and sunrise, nature, the fact that we exist, the stars, colours, seeing my mother laugh, and so on.
