"Ok. It is what it is. But what even is it?"

Hi there, dear crazy diamonds!

My name is Raya and it looks like I'm an abstract painter at this point in my life. I love to be quiet, to listen, to walk, to gently enjoy life in its purest forms and contradictions. I love swimming, walking barefoot and I don't like hippies. Or labels (:

Last winter (2023-2024) I went through the so called "Dark nights of the soul" and somewhere during this experience I've been told by many souls (dead and alive) that it's kind of time for me to start helping people. Which is actually what I was actively doing already - playfully and casually. Since then almost everything in my life collapsed and every single day has been a magical (and not so rarely painful) journey. Now I don't know. Now I can hear the plants (well not all of them and not always - some are pretty quite). Now integration and trust I guess. Learning how to let life to unfold itself without me fighting so hard with it.

In two words: the current situation is magical realism (sometimes more magical, sometimes more realism), faith, softness, joy, fear and exploration.

Welcome (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love the act of mental (but not only) expansion in which strangers are naturally involved. Also because I really enjoy hosting people and providing a cozy atmosphere.

Countries I’ve Visited
