About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Listen and follow my heart. Learning. Manifest

ABOUT ME

PLEASE, READ ALL THIS DESCRIPITION "ABOUT ME" UNTIL THE END :-)
In this period of my life I'm travelling, living nomad, learning and working on myself, doing art, giving workshops, cooperating with projects for animals and environment. This year I'm going to study about nature, body-mind healing, animals, dance therapy. I feel not represented by the society, I love simple natural healthy creative life. I wonder why we should have a visa to get allowed to explore and live on Mother Earth, I wish in a world with no borders.
I grew up in countryside, surrounded by forests and fields, close to a small old villages. At the moment I'm a nomad. 7years ago I left my last home and started to live travelling continuously. hitchhiking-train-airplane-bus-walking. I live a very low budget "lifestyle". I like to be in natural beautiful places and small villages. I enjoy encounters with good people, open heart. I have deep connection with nature. I like quiet situations and places, but also have good fun as singing, dancing, play music, and enjoy simple things as go on the swing, watching insects, playing, etc.. I like sensitivity, people with shining eyes, hugging trees, animals, free dancing moving-the-body-as-you-like, painting, modeling clay (and other artistic staff) green nature, I looove suuun, rivers, the view of the sea and a lot of other things. Sometime I'm pretty shy, sometime completely not, it depends on the situation. I feel more comfortable with one-few people than with many. I feel better in nature, country side and villages, than in cities (but if I'm in cities I enjoy very much go in parks and gardens,and see art and traditional areas).
I trust in my intuitions.
I don't like formality, falsehood, breathing cigarette smoke, drinking alcohol, pessimism (even if happen sometimes).
I'm sensitive to the preservation of the environment, animal welfare and human rights, and I'm vegan (totally vegetarian..I eat only plant food and don't eat any animals or animals product. With some exception: In this last period when I feel it, I sometime eat eggs..but only when I find happy free chickens..that it doesn't happen so often, and when they leave the eggs and do not take care of them). Happy to meet you if our path cross somewhere!

PHILOSOPHY

Nature nature nature peace love freedom wisdom awakening
Be the change you want to see in the world (..work in progress..)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because is a good way to help and support each other. To don't spend money for sleep. To meet lovely people and have good connections, wishing to make new good friends.
I was using couchsurfing a lot at the beginning of my travelling. Now rarely.
Until now I just surfed and met people, enjoying to know a bit each other; I hope one day (as soon as possible!) to be able to host many nice, lovely people, and first of all, all the lovely people that I met on my travel.
I dream when I'll have a house again to invite all together the beautiful lovely people that I met while my traveling..it would be an amazing meeting!

Interests

Inner growth, nature, arts, dancing, music, animals, deep connections, ecological living, vegan food, raw food recipes (don't know much about yet, would like to learn more), 5 rhythms dance therapy, natural medicine, rainbow gatherings, whatever practice about inner growth, etc..

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: I like good music. I really love the Bach Prelude that is played in the movie Masters and Commanders (the other versions are differents) and Romance Anonimo played with the guitar, expecially played by one of my friend. After that..many other kind of music like traditional music, jipsy, world music, relaxing music, celtic, some dance hall, new age, good music for dance, etc., some 80s music because is funny, expecially to dance. I like songs that spread good messages. I normally I like good music..but I remember almost nothing about the name of the artists or music tracks! :-). I love more and more learning and singing medicine songs and "spiritual songs" (that helps to remind to us our true self)from various countries. If you'd like to know mire about ask me to show you my precious songsbook ;-) !
MOVIES: Kiki's Delivery Service, my neighbor Totoro (and all Miyazaki movies) Interstate 60, Peaceful warrior, Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, Microcosmos, all Tony Gatlif's movies (I love it!), many movies with Robin Williams (I love him because of his love..he had shining eyes and was spreading love while acting ), Miss Potter, Dead Poets Society, School of Rock, but many other good movies
BOOKS: I didn't finish to read any kind of book until that I found "The Alchemist" by Paulo Choelo. After that I "started to read". I always liked Paulo Choelo books. I like read from time to time different kind of books. In this period I like books about spiritual growth, meditation, awakening. "The power of now" is an amazing book and is travelling with me. Last book I read is one of my o
prefer, is called Anastasia, by Vladimir Megre. It has many special teaching about natural life and connection. They are a collection of 10 books, I read only one and half. Waiting to meet the others. The bests book I have read and that I suggest are : The power of now, The Alchemist, From fantasy trust to real trust, Women who love too much, The power, Anastasia (by Vladimir Megre). I also really love book ( as children's book) with big and beautiful illustrations, with good messages inside.
