About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking at me through others

ABOUT ME

Funny, sometimes a rebel for speaking out things that have to be said.
A warm girl (sometimes!!! :)) caring for others

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy...It's the best way to make others around you happy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the concept behind it, sharing without expecting something in return.

To see life from different views!

I have not yet had any experience from CS as I've not a place for CS to stay.

Interests

Nature fills me up. If I have a bad day and go for a walk in the woods I always get fresher and lighter.
Besides walking, I like to do chi kung and meditation every day.
I do yoga regularly.
Also I like canoing and cycling, at a beginner's level.
I like the small things in life and appreciating the details, that may be bigger for me then the whole.

Music, Movies, and Books

I liked the movies from the Coen brothers, Kubrick, among others.
In a different direction, Monthy Pyton.
I like almost every kind of music except metal and I'm not so found of "very commercial" music. I like world music, to listen to the Kora, guitar, piano...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking on the top of a mountain and having the clouds under my feet, as well as a "floor of clouds", was a very different feeling, at Cabo Verde.

Teach, Learn, Share

The more I know the more I see I don't !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and share a nice meal with friends.
Going around can be fun, just doing it.
