Living a creative and fulfilling life making art as an concept artist and oil painter. I also love to move a lot and when I'm painting I'm often listening to interesting audiobooks on wide variety of subjects. I like to try and experience lots of different things. Thats why its sometimes hard for me to stick to a certain hobby.

Meditation and mindfulness is something that soothes and centers me. It's really hard to get me upset (but there is that lion inside though). One thing that I'm very enthusiastic about is nonviolent communication and conflict resolution (I did my bachelor's and master's thesis on the subject) Also psychology and human mind are endlessly fascinating subjects. I have dived quite deep on different healing methods and body-mind connection and I am happy to share what I know.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like people and I'm always open to learn about different cultures and meeting new faces. It's so little effort to host someone and it can be a huge thing for the couchsurfer. And it's so convenient to get a place and company when I'm traveling.

As typical with classroom teachers I know little about a wide range of subjects. I know that most of us are wrong most of the time, so I don't take my opinions so seriously. I try to understand people and what drives them. Always happy to hear about your life and share about mine.
