Overview
About Me
I worked as a teacher for 12 years in Luxembourg. I then decided I wanted to engage in humanitarian work and help those in need at a wider spectrum. So I sold all my material belongings and started my travel journey around the world. Each country I visit I find a project/NGO to volunteer and combine helping, learning, growing and traveling all together.
I am passionate about nature, people, learning new things, photography, philosophy, meditation, healthy lifestyle, music, books, coffee.
My aim is to create my own sustainable project involving a guesthouse where the focus would lie on sharing, exchanging, helping and inspiring , around a small community of like minded people.
My philosophy is loving kindness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It’s interesting and enriching to meet people from all over the world, learn their cultures, share knowledge, understand the country through the eyes of a local, make new friends, leave a footprint, grow.
