I have travelled a lot in my life. I have lived in four countries and speak several languages. I am interested in meeting other travellers and in visiting new places. In addition, I am often on the road to teach or work.

Basic values for me are respect, self-reflection, open-mindedness and a love for alternative lifestyles.
I do not get on well with people who are convinced they have all the answers. I like people who are independent and different. I enjoy talking to people who make my mind move in new ways.

+ LGBTIQ people have an advantage.
+ 50+ solo women travelers also have an advantage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate to let things go to waste. I believe we should share if we can. That includes food, empathy, and a safe space for the night. Also, I have enjoyed the hospitality and kindness of many people during my own travels, and I remember those moments with happiness and gratitude.

Interests

I like cooking, eating good organic Paleo-style food, traveling relatively roughly, watching birds and animals, reading, writing and talking about all sorts of complex things..... I have a love for historical, cultural and cross-generational differences. I am interested in magical places, shamanic practices, sweatlodges and drum healings.
