About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Loving as deeply as possible, while finding my inner peace.

ABOUT ME

(if I can include anything at all ... I can include a blank, no? It doesn't describe me accurately, I am far from blank, yet I can't help but recoil from those three words: 'All about you' ... as if people would believe that in the words following, they would be able to get a feel for who I am. :-) Sooo neurotic :-) Anyway, as soon as I find something better, I will update this)

PHILOSOPHY

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
it is called 'present'

(John Kabat-Zinn)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offered my house as a place to pass by, my time whenever possible, my ears when available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quit a lot, but not in this community ... I had friends all over America and Europe. Now I just get to visit Paris once in a while.

Interests

Music, poetry, theatre, languages and communication (verbal ànd non-verbal) and skin-contact all have a big part in my life: I enjoy it both actively and passively.

Meditation (mindfulness); tantra; healing in any form, shape or way (as fast as possible); beautifull people; how can I help?

Laughing and smiling, the latter preferably when making eye-contact with people.

  • poetry
  • yoga
  • meditation
  • drawing

  • guitar
  • history
  • languages
  • au-pair

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many, come and check out my library, my vinyl-collection (oh yeah, I still play them), tapes, videos, mp3's, ...
I'm re-discovering Anaïs Nin for the moment, and I learn a lot from David Deida. The complete works of Frank Herbert and his son are waiting for a long holiday to be devoured by me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done:

Rediscovering my breath every so often.

Seen:

So many normal things so often seem amazing, the more I learn to be gratefull for them.

At age 25 I had the privilige of being an au pair for a baby-girl of 3 months, untill she was 16 months ... talking about 'the most amazing thing to have seen'!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you (fairly fast):
- EFT
- some CranioSacral
- some Yoga
- some meditation

You can use my instruments: sax (soprano, alto, tenor), clarinet (regular and bass), guitar, recorders, ...

I love to learn/improve my languages and stuff that can be helpfull for someone (anyone).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My self ... languages, poetry, therapy, communication, music, drawing, massage, interesting discussions, philosophy, meditation, ...

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
