My name is Vienie (pronounced Finny) and I'm one of the happiest people I know. I am passionate about art and education! I live by these three simple truths: Simple kindness | Learn something new every day | Every day is a gift so enjoy each and every moment!
I love to draw, take pictures, cook, sing and best of all tell stories. I'm a story teller. I'm good with children and the elderly, they have so much to teach me!
I'm happily married to my best friend and we have beautiful son, Leo!
Although I love teaching, I'm currently studying part time as well as running two businesses, Clementina Ceramics & Fabalula. I also specialise in social media for several businesses. I have a very full plate ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is a great passion. Although I have visited many countries, I have definitely not seen enough. I wish to travel the globe for the rest of my days...with life's permission of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are my BEST form of entertainment, just love movies!

I usually read non fiction, but also low a bit of fiction from time to time
