CURRENT MISSION

To take life one step at the time and trust in all that's good...

ABOUT ME

I am relaxed and can enjoy writing alone in a corner of a café with a cuppa tea. On the other hand, I also love to talk to people, to laugh, listen and have fun. I love to learn or hear about new stuff and meet new people. And I love to help out, that's why I can now make a good cappucino or espresso with a professional coffeemachine, but I have never drunk one (I just loved to help out in the restaurant of friends, that I had to conquer that huge machine too). I am also a vegetarian by choice and gluten and chocolate intolerant by wrong doing in past lives ;-) I can eat really dark chocolate, but I don't like it yet (it's a learning process so I've been told, so I am a beginner at this stage).

PHILOSOPHY

relax. nothing is under control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am being hosted I'll try to be an easy going girl, who is enjoyable to have lingering in your home. I can cook a little (not cheffish...). And clean up perfectly after myself. I just look forward to hanging out with you/friends. And seeing the city (being a tourist, you know, the horrible ones, who take pictures of historic sights).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have now surfed eight times. And every time it has been a wonderful experience. I met amazing people and it just made the trip so much more special. I just love it! Now I am looking forward to meeting more people and enjoy more of their countries <3

Interests

I love
To meet new people
To write
To eat vegetarian (yummie)
To have a good conversation
To go to museums and the movies
To be amazed by simple things (like super early in the morning alone near the sea, wow)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy funny movies. Years ago I would enjoy the serious ones more, but, hey, life is much more enjoyable laughing.
Loungy, lazy music is fun, but also very corny songs I can sing along with. Or high energy music to jump/dance to, can be nice. Hey and when I was in my teens I was a real headbanger, so early Metallica and Queensryche are fun too.
I like to read (well that's a surprise...). I read funny short stories (I think the one Woody Allen wrote about the complaints of Vincent van Gogh who wants to be a dentist is hilarious). Or old classics. And children's books. But hey, I am not an all-the-time-travelling-with-book kind of girl. So at the moment I am not into a specific writer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed in a monestary for 11 days. Doing Vipassana. Meditation for 14 hours a day, saying nothing (noble silence). And just let every feeling/thought enter your brain/heart. It was a life changing experience. It's something I am proud of, but hell yeah, it was horrible.
I saw three rainbows on top of eachother in a field once. How do they do that?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be an amazing listener. I am trying to live my passion and I am always learning about that. So maybe that is something I can share (only if you like though, I am not into preaching). I can make you laugh, probably. I can't hold my liquor, so if you're yearning for more knowledge in the binge drinking area, I am not your booster buddy (allthough I will carry/drag you home).

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can offer.... I am easygoing, love to help out. Enjoy a nice conversation. I am tidy. Can make a proper meal. But most of all I am open minded and love to learn from every new person I meet.
