CURRENT MISSION

...to continue what I [am] doing, and to spread joy and revolution (john cage)

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about many things: there's a lot in life to do, to see, to love. I'm a pretty DIY (do-it-yourself) kind of girl - I believe in making things: art, music, clothes, growing vegetables... and supporting my friends who do the same.

I love to travel and to meet people from other places. I am really interested in architecture, art, language, food and music as cultural expressions. And I'm always looking out for how people inhabit and respond to place.

I truly love my family and friends. Don't know what I would do without them. They make life rich, even when I'm a poor student.

Also, I have a hairless cat.

PHILOSOPHY

be kind, be generous, take care of each other, love the mystery, live in the mystery, life can get messy at times but there is always something beautiful if you stop and look around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to host people when I am home and help in whatever ways possible - local advice, maps, transit arrangements (including lending you a bike), and also just hanging out, getting a drink, etc.

When I travel I love staying with people because there is no better way to experience local culture.
One of the best parts, I think, of hosting and being hosted is cooking for each other - an essential part of experiencing a place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people in Bellingham, Washington and have stayed with wonderful people in France, Holland, Spain, Italy and the US. All great experiences!
