About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live as if there is no tomorrow

ABOUT ME

I love the arts and I love to travel.
More specifically: music, dance, photography (b/w film), culinary activities (vegetarian cooking and pâtisserie), languages (francophile), philosophy studies (en français), festivals, museums, art history . . .
Friends and family are precious and I cherish mine. There have been many times when I've needed them, and they have always been there. I start to explore and within in that, find new places and meet new people which is why I love travelling with couchsurfing. My experiences have influenced everything that I love about the arts today.

PHILOSOPHY

"an open mind is the way to live life to the fullest: say yes"
I believe that music is the cure. As I listen, my mood is lifted and my spirits transcend. The beat carries me on. The tune moves me along. And the words make an impact on my heart. Some of the best quotes are lyrics. A song works out your emotions because of the abstract qualities of sound and the tangible, concreteness of language. Call it poetry in motion, music is an art form that I love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keen to exchange ideas and help out. The point of surfing is connecting with my host, be it cooking together, going out, or simply chatting. When I'm not surfing, I like to host. Depending on our interests, I love collaboration, in particular music and art.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the people I've stayed with so far not only have a place to sleep, but ideas and experiences to share and company that has positively enhanced and changed my travels. I've also met some fascinating and interesting people who have come to stay with us, as well as some gorgeous dogs! Through Couchsurfing I feel I've thrived.

Interests

Visual and performing arts really interest me. I love art history and music ( (dabble with piano, voice, guitar) although my studied instrument is violin (15 years). I also love food (raw, simple foods, cooked multi-course meals, baking); I am vegan and will cook vegetarian. Exchanging philosophical thoughts (love Descartes), food, music, travel and anything you feel like sharing; I'm told I'm a good listener. Snowboarding, surfing, tennis, hiking, climbing, all types of dance, yoga, and long walks are some of my favourite activities. Travelling is something I do often and thrive on. I am up for trying many new things and I like to meet new people and learn from them -- embrace the adventure!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to all genres and love suggestions and recommendations. I'm an avid reader, but a slow one with an interest in fiction and memoir types e.g. The Art of Racing in the Rain. Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain = absolut favoris.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had many amazing moments in life. Seeing grand sights in Paris and Rome, climbing atop Table Mountain in South Africa and hiking through Yosemite in California, as well as travels with individuals and family that's scattered around the world.
