One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled a lot by myself in South America, Europe and India and met amazing people. I consider travelling alone to be an intensive way of learning about myself by learning about the world.

I spent one month in India. I loved the altars everywhere where you can say prayers or just feel connected and grounded.

I just had a long exhibition in Amsterdam in the Keramikos Centrum Haarlem.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn everything, new and ancient, modern, and traditional.

It would be great to be able to speak French.

I would love to be able to play the violin.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to teach you about Chile, ancient cultures from Latin American, and of curse, ceramics and sculpture.
