About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world afresh

ABOUT ME

An idealist at heart and ridiculously curious by nature. I love learning - about anything and everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent two years couchsurfing through Europe, and I'm itching to get back into it.

Interests

Art, in all its multi-faceted forms, is all around us (can I dare go further and suggest we all have it in us?). Perhaps it is not always unraveled (because we choose to ignore it due to disinterest or laziness) or it is hidden (because we pass it by without knowing or we are just not paying attention). But it is there. And to explore it, to be creative, is what we owe ourselves. To stretch our imaginations and see the world afresh from a cloud in the sea . Does that make sense? :)

I'm incredibly intrigued by organizational behaviour, and I enjoy economic theory which surprises me. Both attempts to make sense of how the world works, and that is a lot of fun.

Languages fascinate me. Heck, if I hear others speaking a different language I might even follow them a few steps just to hear more of it because I love how it all sounds.

I'm passionate about sustainable business and social entrepreneurship as change agents.

The outdoors with nature is my favourite place to be, although I'm secretly scared of most animals (I pretend I'm not). I like to read & write. French open-air markets is my second favourite place in the world, with french boulangeries/patisseries coming in close as a third. I get very excited when I figure out a new way of looking at things, especially if it gives a positive perspective to an over-analyzed thought. I think kids know a lot more about the important things in life which we are sometimes no longer interested in.

I love wide-open skies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite Movie: Life is Beautiful
Favourite Books: Toooo many to list... I'm usually with 3-4 books at one time; however, C.S. Lewis is probably one of my favourite writers.
Favourite Music: I'm eclectic with music, but I am loving The Gray Havens at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Saw a real rainbow upside down à la Loire au Château Chinon! aka a smiling rainbow
