About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, love, build, grow. Community is a current passion, learning how to create and be part of it in all it's various forms.

ABOUT ME

An accidental traveler,

I love drawing people, faces, places, meeting new friends and hearing their stories. I am passionate about stories, true as well as fictional, and about creating art with different minds.
I dance Swing, but sway to anything that moves me. I walk barefoot, and enjoy learning to cook new foods.

I'm curious to meet new people and have new adventures, philosophy and science, plants, animals, and human anatomy are some of my new budding passions.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about the person dancing next to you and the one dancing in your heart. Live it here and now, not tomorrow nor yesterday. Even though truth is temperamental, unexpected, and ever changing, it's the best friend we have - knowing this is virtue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't participated yet, but I am excited to try.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have friends and family all over the world, so I've been couch surfing with them mostly. It's lovely to meet new people, make new friends, and have unexpected experiences in new countries.

Interests

Everything!
I'm a scientist at heart, and an artist by nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love stories, ferry tales, fantasies and biographies.
Really enjoyed "I, Claudius" "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Shake Hands with the Devil" among many many others. Now reading The autobiography of Malcolm X.

I like almost any kind of music, but nothing beats the simple, solo, acoustic guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made the same chocolate cake in over 20 countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you drawing, and how to swing dance, or make an amazing flourless chocolate tort. Maybe I can paint your portrait... if you're brave enough.

I'd like to learn how to sing in another language, cook a local meal, wonder around your town, and chat about life.

Andorra, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, England, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Jordan, Macedonia, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia, United States
