About Me

CURRENT MISSION

dharma, karma and lot of creativity :)

ABOUT ME

I like to think myself as a free woman who is not afraid to look at herself (inside and outside) in the mirror.
I like changing and learning new things.
I like to take responsibilities in what I do, trying to be the change I would like to see in the world.
Mostly I am happy, positive and energetic. Life is too short to be sad and so I try to keep sadness away as much as I can.
I try to be generous with people and to encourage trusting in one another, that's what life taught me.

PHILOSOPHY

No capitalism. More feminism.
Sharing is the way.

It is too late only when you are dead!

Nobody is perfect, give a "second chance"

If you look for the good 5% in everything you do, you will probably find out that it is underestimated...

Hard days would surely look better if you see them as "differently better than yesterday" :-)

Who you are is what you decide to be every single day

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are looking for disco parties and that kind of night life, maybe you are in the right place, but I am not the right host for you :-)
I like simple things.
No car, no TV, lot of cycling, walking, talking.
Growing up plants and self-produce jams, sauces, cosmetics, cooking, self-producing, recycling and reparing things...
I play several instruments and if you also play or sing I will be very happy to share some musical moments with you.
I also use to go walking in the beautiful hills and mountains in the nearby.
The sea is also not far away from here.
I would like to learn some words of your language and ...surely you have something interesting to share

What I Can Share with Hosts

a good dinner, a nice talk, a lot of maps :)
the beautiful view from my window
