Herbaline85

Hi there! I am Aline, a creative bee who just loves to be outside and in nature. My husband and I share our love and home with our Bordercollie Búri (6 y.o.) and tabby cat Loulou (16 y.o.).

I work as a Support expert in the HR domain (also a licensed bodyworker although not active). I love bird watching, anything DIY, poetry, herbalism & cooking nourishing meals, gardening, reading and pottery. My daily rituals include walking, yoga practice and moments of stillness.

Currently I'm deepening my knowledge about & experimenting with food fermentation. I'm also trying out many banana bread recipes to find the tastiest one!

A fine-sensitive open-minded soul with an embodied earth based way of life. I'm also here for genuine connection and building friendship.

I recently started sending postcards and snail mail again, after a hiatus of 10 years and more.

I love learning about our world cultures and their food, history, spiritual practices & overall rituals. Dreaming about going to Canada, New-Zealand, Scandinavia, the US, Scotland and Japan. I have a special fascination for the Pacific Northwest and Appalachia.

I pick up stones, branches and feathers. We as humans and our more-than-human allies always have a story to share ...

Embroidery, clay & pottery, papercrafts, making our own herbal teas and caring products. I used to be a passionate mandala designer in the past.

My music taste: from folk and gothic (rock) to dark/doom metal, seventies rock, ethereal music, soundtracks, ...Nowadays I mostly enjoy instrumental music while working on the computer, doing chores, while cooking, etc.

Please no Disney, cartoonish or childlike and AI generated stuff or anything glittery, pinkish and girly.

I don't like rooibos and black teas.
