About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have a mission.

ABOUT ME

Oh. These things are difficult. Um..I like to sleep. Lots. And I like coffee, when I'm not asleep. And chocolate, and generally other things which are bad for you. But I do try to balance that with a bit of yoga, cycling and meditation! (Sounds more impressive than it actually ends up being, of course).
I do not like spiders or onions. But I do like people :)

Update 9 years later! I now sleep less, and quit coffee (I'm sure the two are related!) My hair is turning grey, I've made my peace with onions, but spiders still make me shudder. Maybe in another 9 years...

PHILOSOPHY

Every day is a good day.
(Update: the bad ones are ok too.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly I can't host as I live in a very small flat. But I will do my best to meet for a coffee or a drink :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Vienna, Bratislava, Turkey, France and Lebanon and I met some people that I know I won't forget easily. I'm so glad I entered into this world, its so wonderful to meet such interesting people!

Interests

I make and sell jewellery. Zen meditation, yoga, books, piano, sign language, French language, travel!
I work for a charity helping children from disadvantaged areas love books and reading. I've done a bit of voluntary work abroad with refugees.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many books/movies/music - so little time!
