Who I am

I am Michaela Säljemar, entrepreneur, author, coach, and therapeutic guide for individuals on their journey to self-discovery.

In 2021, I relocated to Italy, trading my secure job for a self-sufficient lifestyle in the mountains at Lake Como. I live there with my husband and several four-legged friends who have found their way to us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have a small but really beautiful guest house that our children and friends don't use nearly enough. We would love to share this happy place with people who, like us, are looking for a minimalist, conscious life in nature to find themselves.

Interests

• minimalism
• nature
• conciousness
• self-development

Music, Movies, and Books

My current favourite book: ‘If you are ready ... This is how you heal’ by Brianna Wiest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To emigrate, knowing that I would have to give up status and security.

Teach, Learn, Share

My vision is that this new awareness and the power of self-healing will one day be taught in pre-schools and schools. My mission is to inspire people to live the life they truly want to live.

I myself went this way too and hope to inspire people to leave their comfort zone and follow their own path.

"Being yourself in a world that constantly wants you to be different is the greatest achievement."
R. W. Emerson
