---- On the road at the moment, no couch, but always available to meet up for a good cappuccino! ---

I work hard from home at irregular hours, play harder and like to be lazy at times. Sometimes I'm available to play tour-guide, sometimes you're on your own, but always available for laughs and deep talks.

If you copy-and-paste your couch-request I give a copy-and-paste "NO AVAILABILITY DUE TO LACK OF INSPIRATION" answer back.

Looking forward to connect with you!
Happy surfing

Personal Description

Dreamer, wanderer, wonderer.

Curious as a cat, non-conformitative, laid back, intense, always searching for the edge (in situations and within people).

Friends tell me to warn you, that I am very direct and sometimes painfully honest, but accompanied with a BIG heart and always with a pure and positive intention.

How I Participate in CS

less and less

CouchSurfing Experience

It all started in Nimbin/Australia with WildDuck. Such a good experience that I joined CS :-)

Interests

Main interest: People --> how they act and interact or how they try NOT to interact.

Besides that: first times, blowing bubbles, popping bubbles, living fairy tales, pink sunsets, talks, walks, dancing, drumbeats, star gazing, old cars, mean motorbikes, finding the perfect cappuccino in a new town, group dynamics, philosophy, getting exposed to new stuff (surroundings, people, activities), books, movies, you!

Philosophy

Live, Love, Laugh, Learn, Look closely, Let go, Lift up.

Music, Movies, Books

Movies: all the StarWars movies, James Bond, Cherry Blossom, Amelie, Fight Club, Memento, Scent of a Woman, Fear and lothing in Las Vegas, All the Bournes, and of course Shrek and Don Juan (a lot of similarities :-)

Music: Love live-music (especially if it's from local bands). Guitar at a bonfire, drum-circles, kirtan, breakbeats, dubstep and there is always time for Madonna

Books: Heldere Maan, The Glass Castle, The mysts of Avalon, books from Joseph Campbell, poems from Rumi and Hans Bouma, books with pictures, books with deep stuff, my own diaries, your diary...

Types of People I enjoy

People who are open, natural, authentic, sharing and caring.

Teach, Learn, Share

commotional psychology
tarot/numerology/i tjing and other stuff to try get the unconscious out to the conscious world
Besides that also can teach a thing or two in (re)structuring companies/careers/life

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

To have touched a soul (even if it's only for one nano second), and to be touched by a soul.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Are you serious? You better not be, because Pink certainly isn't. She's more fun than you can shake a fish at, and she'll do everything in her power to make sure that everyone within reach is happy and relaxed. She is one smart, savvy, compassionate, sexy little punk, and she'll enlighten your life.

Suzie is cool, and it was nice to meet and speak with someone like her. She's very easy-going and adaptable, in terms of being a surfer. I had a good time showing her around my city, and look forward to seeing her again soon!

I don't want to miss you but I know I will :). Rosa and I have shared moments in capadoccian caves, mexican beaches, tango allys, patagonian landscapes and italian castles. Somewhere in the process she became part of my life. I am truly happy for that. Love you and Hug you. D

Susy was a great and patient host with a taste for good vine. We had a nice spanglish-conversation with her former landlady and a laid back evening enyoing our meal on the carpet.
Hopefully we meet each other in Bariloche! See ya and sorry for the late reference!

Susy/Pink helped me celebrate my last night in Buenos Aires with a free concert and 'Argentina I'll miss you' steak on a plate dinner. She is warm and friendly and full of helpful advice on living the travelling life. I hope we meet again when she gets lured back to beautiful Australia :)

Susy a.k.a. Pink is awesome. Super fun, friendly, smart, thoughtful, warm and very international! I spent some time with her in my home town (Vallarta) and although not enough, it was certainly enough to know she is trustworthy, doesn't like broccoli, and is a lovely person to be in the company of.

I hope to see her again soon... maybe in Argentina?

Honest, fun and warm are the first words that come up to me when I think of her. The times we spend together are moments I charish. With what she knows and who/how she is she is a hudge positive addition to the world!
