About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Planting roots in Australia, Building yurts, Living magically, Making a family and a home

ABOUT ME

Nomadic mountainlover, believer in magic. Often silent, open-minded, creative. From the vast silent wilderness of the north. Spent some years travelling europe and australia. Built a yurt and lived in with the love of my life. My life is a beautiful saga.

PHILOSOPHY

Lust for comfort suffocates the soul. I believe we are spiritual beings on a human journey. I strive to not be stuck in the material world and the limitations put upon us by a shallow money-making culture. I'm an optimist and try to see the good in everyone. Try to live close to nature. To work through my blockages and break free from what holds me back. To be myself completely. Live without imposing strict rules upon myself. Try to be of service. No one's slave, no one's master. I believe in magic.
