Couch picture

Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: Depends

Well, the couch is in a separate room. Macchu (the cat), might come and sleep with you though, but we can always close the door...and there's also a kind of couch in the living room.

***First thing:
If you already have a couch but want to meet up, I'm always up for a drink, sharing stories and meeting fellow travellers, so don´t hesitate to get in touch.
I've put "Maybe" on my couch though, as sometimes I might be able to host, especially if you seem like someone I would surely want to meet (even if most of the time I'd be more available for coffee and meeting up, as I just started on my new job, and am in the middle of very busy times). I work shifts, early mornings, evenings and nights, so am not always around, and if at home, I pretty much tend to sleep. Otherwise, just message me here and I'll get back to you quickly with an answer.
I live a short walk away from the very centre, or a couple of stops by metro, if you prefer. I can show you around (let's say that we can discover together, as I'm not a real "toulousaing"!). I like to host people when I have time to spend with them, so, let's hope you'll come when I have my days off.
I'm working strange hours, so sometimes wake up at 4.30AM, sometimes go to bed at 8.00AM, sometimes work at nights (on those days I prefer not to host).
Attention allergics: I've got a cat (Macchu)...he's adorable though!
I'll probably have less time and energy for hosting now, with all the work and things, but, I still hope to see you soon!

Personal Description

I'm continuously learning new things about myself...
Some things I have learned so far:
I'm restless, which gives me the urge to be on the move ;
I feel like a rootless tree, which makes me wonder, wander and search ;
I'm impulsive, so I can "take off and go" whenever ;
On the other hand I like stability : I like to feel protected and loved, to be secure ;
I leave everything to the very last minute (really, everything) ;
I dream a lot ;
I have a vivid imagination ;
I think too much and my thought wanders on some strange roads ;
I have my opinions, and am very likely to protect them, but also can change my mind if someone can show me something from another angle ( I believe there is no such thing as the one and ultimate truth ) ;
I don't like stupidity and blind belief though ;
I like to learn about new things ;
I am very straightforward, and I tend to wait the same in return from other people, which sometimes makes my relationships difficult ;
I tend to over-worry and I can sometimes be a control-freak ;
I think that everything is possible ;
I'm a people's person, I like company ;
I fight for justice and fairness :
I find amazing the way how people connect to each-other, and on the other hand, how we are actually all alone in this world ;
Music heals my soul.

***I left Estonia behind in June 2007, quit my job as an editor, packed everything I own in 3 brown paper boxes (I discovered that there is not much), and everything I considered essential in my backpack to take with me...Why, you ask? I just didn't find a reason to stay, simple as that. Seeing the Tallinn sign slip past, I didn't know when I would be back.. and to be honest, I didn't really know where I was heading either. There was just something inside me, that said "Go!". And here I am, more than a year later, in Toulouse.

How I Participate in CS2

I'm spreading the word, hosting, surfing, helping where I can. And during all this, the essential: to have good times and share with all the FUNtastic people out there!
Camps:
Berlin Beach Camp '06 & '07
Vecumnieki Midsummer Camp in Latvia (Baiba's place)
Vama Veche Beach Camp in Romania '07
Weekly meetings

CouchSurfing Experience

It's been a few years now that I'm a member here in CS & also in HC, so I'm active in both.
I guess you can have more or less of an adequate overview from my profile. Every one of my experiences has been different, but special on its own way. CouchSurfing has helped me to understand: the world is my oyster!

Interests

travelling! (surprising?), dreams (I see a lot of them, and like to discuss with people who feel a special connection with their dreams as well), !music!, languages (french!) & want to improve my spanish & non-existing portuguese, different cultures, reading (existentialism, beat-generation, poetry...anything really), oh and a CSer just recently got me into shiatsu! (thanks Claire!); photography, cinema, massage (want to improve), organic living, swimming, snowboarding, talking, sharing, playing-jamming on the guitar (learning it, slowly-slowly), singing, road-trips, camping, bonfires, bbqs, randomness, spontaneity, telling stories, listening stories, long mornings/afternoons in bed (?is that an interest?), people, connexions between people, psychology, life on the whole.

Philosophy

*Whatever you are, be a good one*

"Don't let your dreams be dreams" - Jack Johnson
I try not to forget what I dreamed about when I was still a kid...

*Live your life and let others live theirs*
Respect people, no matter how different their views are from yours, everyone is free to believe in what they consider the best for themselves (to the limit when their belief and actions start to harm others).

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." - Mahatma Gandhi
Positive thinking! - a lot of work to do on that one. This is pretty much my goal at the moment. To learn to leave the negativity behind. It's all about how you live your life. I've understood, that everything follows the law of attraction - good sticks to good, and bad is a magnet for more bad. Simple as that. To live a well-balanced life, getting out the best I can from each experience.

Music, Movies, Books

SIX FEET UNDER - probably the best series ever made. I can watch it over and over again. And I really enjoyed the first season of Californication as well. Now am watching Weeds. As you can see I've got hooked on some series....
About other MusicMoviesBooks: yes, please! There are really too many..(I just had a long list here, but I deleted everything, my profile was getting way too long!) We can share it all when you come over, listen, watch, discuss.

Types of People I enjoy

People With Soul. Honest and open-minded people, who don't set up restrictions, what can be done and what cant. Who live their life at the same time letting live the others, considering, that all people are not quite the same. People, who try not to judge people without being in their shoes. People who know how to have fun, who dont hurt others feelings (or at least try not to) and who dont play tricky games. And: I really can't stand hypocrisy.
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" A. Lincoln
I've always been straightforward, some people get scared from it, some appreciate...I belong to the group that appreciates it. I think that it makes life/human relations much easier, or if not, at least things are clear. I believe that the truth will always come to the daylight one day, so why hide or lie? Let's keep it simple.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have so many more things to learn than to teach... Anyone up to teaching me guitar? Or spinning pois? Cooking tips? Massage? Or..anything really!
Well, I can teach estonian! Or give some tips about hitchhiking - let's share.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

It seems that...I was born to this world! (though, dont remember much about it). Birth (but also death...) are the most "miraculous" things in this world, I think. Aaah, actually all the world is just amazing! Every day I wonder about the miracle of life, the beauty & mystery of it.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
- Albert Einstein
There are so many "small things" in the world, that matter and can sometimes make the life worth living. I just wish that people would notice them more. I like to feel ALIVE.

HAHAHA Marii is an incredibly top notch couchsurfer !!!
Seems strange to me to write such a belated reference because we have seen each other a couple of times and it was great each time...
I first met Marii when she came for help to write her final master's thesis. It was so hard to understand. I am glad she succeeded !
I must say that Marii is everywhere. Just click on a profile, look at some pictures and she might just pop out ! She is incredibly nice and fun to be with. I also admire her because she is such a tough traveller with GREAT stories. I am really lucky to know her and everyone in the Toulouse CS community loves her !

Marii was my first CS experience. Im happy to say because of her it wont be my last. I was a little nervous meeting someone on the internet but Marii made things really easy. She was happy to meet at short notice. We had a walk around her city and had a really plesent talk. She was extreamly easy to chat with. She gave me some great tips especially for cs'ing and I hope our paths cross again some day. Hopefully when you come to NZ Marii !!

She sent me a message quite randomly last autumn, to ask if I would like to have a coffee or something with her as we come from neighbor countries and both were living in Toulouse. Well, actually we ended up to meet in the university of Mirail as I was in a desperate need of help with my inscription and she promised to help me... :D Anyways, from that on we met every now and then and became easily friends. She is open, relaxed, funny, spontaneus, warm and all those likeable things. :) One of my best friends in Toulouse!

As with many cases, time is short. In the grand scheme of things, we're really only here for an instant. I didn't really have time to properly host Marii with how work has been.. but I told her I could provide a place to crash for a night, and we ended up having a blast. It was just dinner, but had lovely chats and were quickly onto things we have in common. I don't think I've met anyone as passionate about dreams as I.. it's too bad it was so short.. but it has been great to get to know you Marii!! Have a good trip!

Marii was a great guest: she bought me a bear, taught me to say cheers in Estonian and was generally pleasant. I'm too old to keep up with her when it comes to the party life, but I was definitely impressed.

Another positive reference. How boring... But this time I can't be original. Marii is n°1 top super mega host. Yep, no kidding. Thanks to her, I had the 4th (chronologically) best-time-of-my-trip in Tallinn. She's just as nice as her evil sister's evil boyfriend is scary :)

I met Marii en route to a backpacker's commune thing a few kilometers north of Berlin, after the Beach Camp. We drank wine and sangria in the back of a van and talked about embarrassing US ambassadors. It was a fun night! Hope to see you again whenever I visit Estonia.

It was a pleasure to share the best and greatest memories (e.g. firewalkers, african drummers, the last sunrise!) at the camp with her. Even the nasty moskito bites as we found out later :p. Thanks for the lovely supply of sangria and being so laid back together.

I met Marii in Tallinn during my exchange-year here. She has been very important and good friend for me here; with her I've shared meny memorable moments, seen many good places and met many nice people. Marii is very friendly and open-minded person with good sence of humour. She's also very honest and trustworthy. What can I say, she's just great, a friend I will never forget.

I guess in one way I was lucky that Marii was ill when she was surfing at my place as I got the chance to explore the other side of the "party girl" ;). I discovered a polite, considering, caring , modest and very sensitive person. Plus , she makes the best pasta with chicken curry sause I've ever had :P It was an absolute pleasure hosting you guys. My house is open to you, Marit and Anna at anytime... well.. almost anytime ;)
Thanks for the 'after eight' by the way, I loved it :)

Wow, it's been a long time since I hosted them... We didn't spend a lot of time together, because it was directly before and after a camp, but I definitely can say that they were friendly, trustworthy and interesting girls, I'll probably have to meet them again to say more :)
And they didn't burn down my flat when staying there alone! ;)

My fellow Rock Goddess. I met Marii at an impromptu CS meeting in Toulouse last year. She was kind and generous enough to host us all for a party at her home and once I saw her music collection I knew straight away this girl rocked! We later met a couple of times for coffee but this superstar made the supreme effort of coming up to Bordeaux for my Birthday Party and will I eternally love her to bits for it (i will hunt down your wallet thief, tie him/her to a chair and submit them to my singing. we all know that is the worst punishment ever) rock on girl. I hope to see you before you leave. x
