About Me

Many interests ranging from Tango Dancing , Theater and Dance to Yoga and Tai Chi . Interested in people and various Cultures and travel widely when ever possible . Enjoy most aspects of everyday life but never monotony and routine except when it comes to exercise and cooking since the basics are important .

Respect is a basic principle that I give and expect to share with others and my guests . Generosity of Spirit and Open hearts are always welcome as well as those who are willing to share and enjoy the process of becoming more flexible and open in human interactions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a wonderful way to share , discover and meet my "world family" and all my sisters and brothers who are on the long and winding road and who are in need of sustenance , a good meal and peaceful environment be it for one night or longer .
I serve to provide a temporary Oasis in the often hectic and stressful conditions of modern day travel.

Interests

Dance , specifically Argentine Tango but also many other forms of movement , tai chi , yoga . Travel is wired into my genes being spawned and born in Asia , raised in Europe and the States and then lived and worked in several countries abroad and still a Nomad whenever the occasion comes up . Nature and Music are my Gods . I keep my face to the Sun whenever possible . Positive Energy in all its myriad forms is what motivates me and sustains me Beauty , Truth , Justice, Simplicity , Inspire me.

We live in fast times and I purposely choose to slow mine down whenever possible as in my own space .

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical , Beethoven , I believe sits at the right hand of GOD and maybe flanked by Bach and Brahms or to be fair lets just say all the Germans on the right and the Italians on the left . I m sure whoever is reading this will disagree but we can agree to disagree with no problem. Movies . Classics , Rebel without a Cause & Blade Runner . Books , the Classics from Greece to Russia from Tolstoy to Hess to Joyce and the English , American and Russian , French and Japanese Poets . I also feel that one life is not enough to read and discover all the music and books and wonders of the world , so I shall have to reincarnate again as a Librarian with my own library and collection of books and a world travel pass .
