About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning about other cultures, people and myself and keeping the spirit of hospitality alive!

ABOUT ME

Open and easygoing. I like meeting new people from all walks of life.

I´m currently less active on CS because I´m doing my clinical training to become a psychotherapist, which is eating up all my time and money atm.

I grew up in Luxembourg, but I've been living in BErlin for the past 9 years. I like a good night out, but I also enjoy a good dinner or a beer with friends. I´m also very much into the outdoors. I can show you the best parks and lakes in summer.

I also do trapeze, a bit of acrobatics and rock climbing and I love vegan/vegetarian food and cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

“Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.”

Tom Robbins
