ABOUT ME

Although I don't reject believing in afterlife(s), I do realize that right now I can only be certain of one lifetime, so intend to fill it with the most various experiences that cross my path (the good and the bad ones, which are I believe as valuable). To shorten things up a bit, here just somethings I like: honesty, rhythms, challenges, French baguettes, full moons, taking and watching photographs, surprising people, and, recently, solving riddles. I'm truly happy with the person I am, so hopefully you will like her as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty is my one life device.

And: 'When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!'
(which I actually borrowed from a Belarussian friend's sister - to be honest)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For a short résumé and a glance of the atmosphere, please read my references. It saves me the effort of keeping on updating this section and probably summarizes it better than I ever will.

Interests

As some of my likes are already covered above, maybe worth mentioning over here are some dislikes, though there aren't many. I do, however, can get real frustrated with this tiny particles of food that get stuck behind & between my teeth.

• writing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a total solar eclipse on a desert meadow in France; Admired a spectacular Brussels view upside down for 5 marvellous seconds at night; Fell in love.

Teach, Learn, Share

As there is so much to share (huge, tiny, (un)consciously, real or surreal, ..) I wouldn't know where to start, although I recently turned out to be quite ok at fixing Hookah and making breakfast. And I could use someone that can learn me how to put henna on a person's body.
