"I continue to live as I have lived for many years now... ardently introverted, yet fiercely dedicated to striving to be in the world." - Clarissa Pinkola Estés

I think there is nothing that ever described me as perfectly as Estés did.

I become silent in groups which doesn't mean I don't like to be amongst people. There are times where my extroverted side also awakens, especially when I am travelling or new in a city.

I am good at being on my own, writing and thinking and enjoying. But I can be a passionate talker and I am very much interested in the people around me.

I love everything that's a little different, I like new perspectives and new experiences.

My comfort zone is sometimes a home and sometimes a cave - I try to expand or escape it once in a while.

I like wind and rain and storm. It makes the world alive and vibrant.

My biggest passion is drama therapy - it is amazing what magic can happen in the 'playspace'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like how couchsurfing takes me to places I would have never seen and how it makes me meet wonderful people I would have never met.
I like the giving and receiving nature of it.

Interests

I love reading and writing, poetry, walking in forests and alongside wide rivers and small mountain-streams, I like the colours turquoise and dark green, I like to dance and sometimes I do that while it rains. I find things that are contrasting beautiful - things that are rough and at the very same time soft.
I like to work out and move my body.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I am reading:
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
(But actually I am not enjoying it at all, kind if fighting through it)

I like to read stuff about psychology (The Body Keeps the Score) and I love everything Anaïs Nin writes.

Music: stoner/psychedelic rock, psy-trance (to dance to), electro, John Frusciante, Khruangbin, Suuns, Tame Impala, CocoRosie....

What I Can Share with Hosts

Right now I can not offer a couch because I dont have a spare matress - so if you bring your own matress or you are happy to sleep on the floor, I could provide a blanket at least. I am looking for a way to change this situation :)
