About Me

CURRENT MISSION

spreading positivity

ABOUT ME

History is my passion, journalism my goal. As a free student of life I combine history and journalism... Travelling around Europe, making first contact through couchsurfing really gives me a lot of opportunities of getting to know a country well, and fast.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in freedom and harmony with everyone and everything, respecting other peoples wishes and needs, I spread positive energy, stimulating others to also spread their positive energy. This way of life shows me everyday how your small effort positively and effectively affects other peoples/animals/plants lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending 4 days and 3 nights on Monte Subasio without seeing a living soul. I just had nuts and water, a tent a blanket, toiletpaper and a lighter to make campfire. Living without everything else made me realise how you only need a few things and positive energy to survive everything. It was a very spiritual and meaningful experience..

Full of energy and enthusiasm me friend and I decided to swim to a big rock near the coast in the Baltic sea. We had a ladder to climb on this enormous rock. My friend went first and enjoyed the view for much longer than he expected due to the fact that when I climbed up the ladder, it broke and I fell on the rocks, leaving him stuck on the rock. Not being hurt too much, I waded back to shore to get another ladder to rescue my friend. By that time, we weren`t there alone any more. A group of seniors arrived while I was making my way through the rocky water, bare naked. Luckily another friend asked the elderly Germans to turn around for a few minutes. Although I didn`t make it on to the rock, it was a great experience.
