CURRENT MISSION

To see myself in others.

ABOUT ME

I am a person who enjoys the experience of life! I get inspired by meeting people, seeing new places, houses, having good meals and good wine, go for walks in nature, yoga, meditation, arts & handicrafts, qigong, film, being on water or up in the air, snow, listening to music and watching the stars.

PHILOSOPHY

Right now I like the quote from Richard Bach: "Every real teacher is myself in disguise."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the whole idea of building a community of friends traveling, linking many people together. Staying at or meeting someone local person at the place you're visiting is also a great way of getting to now a village/town/country. You can see things and know of what's going on in that place more than if you're "just" a tourist. It is also a wonderful opportunity as a host to meet people and share things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first stay was a really good experience! Became a good friend with my host and she was very generous, sharing her favourite places and getting people together so I made even more friends! We shared good meals, thoughts and life experiences. It was a great time there, both times (I returned) getting to know Melbourne, her and the people around her!
