About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently working towards expanding an art commuity project where important solutions to everyday problems can be found throught mutual sharing of respect, communication, innerstanding, love and creativity!
Inclusive and intergenerational!

ABOUT ME

I am me.. Just like you I have good and bad times and daily needs of water, food, rest and love...

I am an artist in the making and always looking for a_mazing experiences....

I find the greatest joy in unaltered inocent and beautiful moments with any one that crosses my path... Generally in the form of smiles, truth and deep honest sharing...

My aim in life is to regain the purity of an unspoilt child and the wisdom of an elderly well lived sage and with this become part of the solution!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a constant learning curve. There are lessons to learn from everyone and every experience if we take it as such... and I definitely do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was living life in the "right way" working more than my body and mind could handle, all because i loved what I did.. I spent time with wonderful human beings and helped them with their challenges and difficulties and became surrounded by amazing very educational abilities... It was all so wonderful I over did it until i could no longer function...

So, now? I am creating a project where I can still do this in a less formal way, experience showed me it was at school lunch times and walk abouts that the real magic was happening and the actual resolution became real...

So I want to travel the world and get together with people with all the diversity we have... All Ages, Abilities, Genders, Ethnic and Socioeconomic Backgrounds!

Join forces through creativity and sharing of the beautiful life moments... Rain or Shine!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed for about 4 years in total if I add the 1 day - 8 month experiences depending in what time of my life... never throught his site, just life's magical interactions

I used to find it complicated to coexist, to participate in day to day social activities...

Couch surfing amongst a large series of life events helped me overcome this and lead me to be the social butterfly I really am...

Being in other people's spaces and gettting used to their ways of living is an experince that i recommend to every one!! It is highly educational and fulfilling!

Interests

Music: cello concerto to rock to samba drumming to psychedelic trance.. expecially: singing, playing, listening and dancing...

If it moves me I like it!!

It is the same for Art!!

Playing, Learning, Socialising..

Giving back! Being and working with the land...

Creating/doing/being/making conscient actions...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up! <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share:
Art: Creating!!
Many different Mediums and Technique
Sculpture(*****), Drawing (****), Digital Photography (***) (styles and composition)(Would love to learn Shutter speed, apertures and depth of field) , Digital Manipulation (***) (photoshop), video editing (** out of practice)(premier and final cut pro) , READY TO LEARN MORE :D

(*****)I have vast experience of amaturely learning about the human mind and recently focussing on the emotions, this has lead me to a better innerstanding of people and our interactions, what we block/fight, what we ignore/run, what we engage with/surrender/deal with, how and why we relate like we do, how we manipulate ourselves and others subcounsciously and some times consciously as survival mechanisms...

Techniques on how to build on long lasting life changes rather than temporary measures we have to keep, controling or trying for...

Many things I have learnt came at a great challenge to myself and others around me yet my life is getting better every day, more people using these techniques tell me the same...

This was quite a challenge for me to write this an I fear that I do not know all these things, even though experience shows me other things.

I would love to learn more about people (Scientific, Psychology, Education, Spirituality, Esoteric, Energy work, Reiki, Deecha, Aura reading, Mediumship.. Any thing in these fields are highly appreciated.. also happy to share even though as a self taugh consicously starting learner), music, art, agriculture and community building...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Full transparent expression of being....

Who I am... my experiences... questions that could be helpful for personal growth and exploration (this activity will be as deep as you want to engage in),
