ABOUT ME

I am now a novice with the Faithful companions of Jesus: a congregation of Ignatian women. At the moment I'm afraid it isn't really possible for me to meet up or host because of this.
I'm open-minded, a good listener, but enjoy talking too and I've got a broad range of interests.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to each other. It makes the world a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can only meet up at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS bar gatherings and I have surfed once in Spain and hosted once. They have been good experiences.

Interests

Religion: I have studied theology, worked as a chaplain and now live in a religious community so faith is important to me.
Music: love to listen to it and love to play myself, especially the clarinet.
Travelling: I would like to travel a bit more often, I can enjoy nature as well as culture, I love to meet interesting people and am open to new experiences.
Other interests of mine are archaeology, history, literature, film and theater.
