About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be curious to the world and equal to its people.

ABOUT ME

This profile descripes me, but after becoming a mother 05/14, we are a family now. Still hosting, if possible.
I should edit the profile, but haven't done it yet.

OLD description

Im lively and easy going, emotional and independent. Sometimes well-balanced, social and full of energy, sometimes shy and desiring loneliness. Nowadays more presence than before - which Im happy for. Still, I have to practice that ability more.

Keen on arts, music, cultural happenings and all kinds of nature stuff: hiking, cycling, snowshoening, exploring forests, camping, fishing... many kinds of ings!

I believe in intuition, joy and goodness and try to be honest to myself in everything I do.

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is freedom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wanted to improve my english, which was - and still is - pretty poor.
Found out that everything else is much more important. Throughout CS I have met so many unbelievable warm and lovely people who I will never forget.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ernest Hemingways The Old Man and The See. Tiny book but so touching.
Werner Herzogs documentary film Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. Nothing much happens - and still there is everything, the whole life and its beauty.
Music, yes. I do love. A lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Become a mum <3

Ok, what it comes to traveling, its so difficult to name just one. Interrail to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay on 2008 was memorable, as well as Chile on 2010.
Still, you dont have to travel far to see or do amazing things. You just have to open your eyes and see things, not just to look at them.
