Hi there! My name is Ilse. I am a massage therapist and have a massage place on the beach. Check out my FB page: Pure Beach Spa.

I have been giving and teaching massage for the past 10 years. Prior to that I used to teach P.E. at the elementary school where our children went to.

I love the beach and the ocean and everything in between.

Right now I am getting ready to walk the Camino de Compostela in Spain summer 2017.
So every morning I get up at 6am to train for this event!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to talk to new people and I want to offer a safe place to stay.

Interests

I love working in my garden. I want to set up a vegetable garden and a flower garden.

• flowers
• reading books
• swim

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Just about everything. Not so much ' House'
Movies: Intouchables, Green mile, Shawshank Redemption, It is complicated, Jason Bourne, Ice age and many more...
Books: 'Into the woods' made me laugh from beginning 'till end. The movie was not good at all unfortunately!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing on a catamaran and on a sailboat to a few Caribbean islands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my favorite recipe and you can teach me yours! That way we have learned something new and shared the salt and pepper...

What I Can Share with Hosts
