Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A girl that enjoys the occasional glass of wine while exchanging ideas, but has somewhat of a rejection for unnecessary small talk.
Take long walks just because our feet can take us places or sit with them dangling off some cliff, or high building, or anywhere with tons of thing-less meters under our soles.
Sit across anyone and draw the story printed on their face.
I like to discuss points of views, and I appreciate people not getting offended if one does not share their exact perspective on something- growing is about constructing wisdom between individuals and not an up down relationship of information or knowledge, and I love to deny seriousness and solemnity (when in comfort, and given the right space).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed so far, and it's been a wonderful and enriching experience

Interests

I have a passion for painting and video works. I enjoy playing the guitar, singing, contemporary dance, writing theatre and a number of creative activities with which I'm constantly in contact with. While traveling I enjoy train time for reading and contemplating the passing landscape and I cherish small alleys and enjoy the heights (and their views) within cities. Night walks, random encounters, intimate cafe's, bars and train stations are some of my favorite places for life sketching.
Although I've left it aside for a year I'm looking to re-take rock climbing during this month of travel… I enjoy sports and physical activity very much, my favorite of which can very well be throwing around a Frisbee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtrip through Death Valley and the Grand Canion- that bastard punched the breath out of my body.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make hoola-hoops, juggle, throw a freesbe, make a trance-drawing (if you have the patience), make ink dance, disect an animal (with the correct tools and it MUST be a found carcass)...

I'm eager to learn any phisical of metaphisical tool that has aided anyone to achieve a droplet of joy.
