My name is Rowana, I was born in a village close to Arnhem in the Netherlands. Since a few months I have my new home close to Zutphen.

Around a year ago I traveled around Egypt for 7 months. Egypt stole my heart. Traveling is important to me as it very much satisfies my heart and soul. Meeting amd getting to know new cultures, observing all is what makes me happy. Creating truthful meaningful connections is whay the journey remembers me the most. Also being in quietness with nature.

When it comes to talking, I am not a big big talker by words. If I do, I like to talk about things that really matters to our heart. Being silence I don't mind at all. I feel happy when I am with someone that understands. I feel free in non verbal talking atmospheres. How does non verbal communication make you feel? Of course too, I like to get to know one and another. But I always trust, all will be shared that is necessary.

At the moment being back in the Netherlands and manifesting my own home, was a crucial step. After Egypt I have had a year of many places to stay. I am grateful I have my place now and I very much like to be in the calm and grounding bubble.

Creating art is as a roof above my head. Beside that I like to play, outside, dance, sing, explore and improvise.

I try to live as conscious as possible :-). In talking. In acting. The most beautiful days are the days I am even not aware of being but just being there in the moment. I consider myself as an open and honest being.

I mostly eat vegetarian, don't smoke or drink.

Freedom means living to me. Expressing my love for all freely. Mother earth is the one that carries us, we care about her as she is our home and keeps us alive together with the sky.

Looking forward to meet you.

p.s. don't worry in the morning about me, I have a little routine in silence with a tea and a so called "meditation..." of some time. After a shower I am ready!

p.s. I will always try to find a quiet calm and safe CS bed to sleep when I travel. I am sensitive to sound very. And I need a calm place to be able to get a good rest to live in ease. If you home is a very noisy place and I have requested to stay. Please be honest and let me know. Caring about each other is what we do here. So I would very appreciate your notice.

p.s. I have used CS before but I couldn't get in to my account anymore. : )
