Im Anna Lena, a staunch idealist that is looking for her own place in the structures of global change.

From September to January, I am spending some time in Sfax, Tunesia and doing an internship in the field of environmental education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know interesting people and places. I really like to see and understand the way of living of other people, that helps me to get another perspective to my own live and my own priorities. And i like to share my own experiences with other people.

Interests

A question that is quite present in the last time is what we need in the world support a shift in our minds that makes us aware that our actions influence the future of our world, and that we start to understand our own responsibility in future developments.

I'm gardening in the summer season with some friends in a gardening Project near Münster. The vegetables we get from our field i like to "transform" to a good, vegtarian meal, i really like to spend my evenings cooking with friends.
I also really like good music and enjoy dancing and singing a lot.
I'm quite interested in politics and structures that influence the well-being of our world.
Also, being outside in nature is really important to me and gives me the calmness I need for the projects that i

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the last year I learned a lot about listening to my own intuition, non-violent communication and finding my own Heart-Projects: What is it that i really want to go for? I found some answers to that in the las year I am really thankful for.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you something about the Nicaraguan culture because I spent a year there working in a primary school. As well I can teach you to cook the nicaraguan way and if you want to learn some slang-expressions, i can teach you :D
I also learned to make earrings out of wire and if you're interested in learning something about that i can teach you.
Also, I can teach you the basics of botany, i learned a lot of that in my childhood.
If you are interested in nature-based methods about connecting with yourself, with the people around you and the world we live in, i have something to share with you.
