About Me

Hey there friends!

-------- current mission: ROADTRIP, hitchhiking, backpacking through PORTUGAL, starting with the Boom, later by foot, bike or tramping crossing Portugal, Spain and France, heading towards Bretagne.
Anyone has a couch on the way? Or some nice tips, maybe just wants to hang out or even show me around to some cool spots? It would also be awesome if you'd want to be my travel buddy for a little while :D I'm an easy, thankful and happy person who loves to share !
Safe travels friends !

Happy open person - I love to laugh, I love to learn, I love to meet new people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Life and experience is the best teacher that we can have.

I am 30 years old, from germany and I finished my studies (education) in 2015.
I have been working as a teacher in germany and switzerland since then (subjects: Englisch, German, Sciences, Households work, Cooking).
But I discovered my passion in traveling....
In my freetime though I like to learn as much more as possible myself. There are not many things that I wouldnt try to work as or help with. Im open minded, active and uncomplicated.
I like working/spending time with children, social activities, I love animals and (herbal, medicinal) plants, I love to take pictures, and always travel wih my camera, love taking walks...
Im quite experienced in guardening work (I have been into eco-living for years, so acquired some knowledge to help on eco-projects). I dont mind getting myself dirty - I help cleaning and renovating as well as working in the yard. Ive done this many times, I can plant a plant from seed on, as well as taking care of an already prepared garden. One of my big passions are plants, herbs, fruits& vegetables and I love going to a new region and learning about native edible and medicinal species and how to use them!!
I love music and art - but can't say I'm particularly skilled (though Id say Im an creative mind)... I can play the violin, a ukulele and a guitar and I can sew with a machine. Im quite good at improvising and also working with recycled materials (upcycling).
I´m also a certified yoga teacher! I absolved my yoga teacher training in Risikesh, India in 2020.

2017 I started my travels to Asia, where I spent most of the time experiencing Myanmar and working on an island in Thailand (behind the bar, catering, preparing food, renovating new rooms, homeschooling).
I think that life is a gift and I try to seize every day, every moment :)
Since then I've been hitchiking through Middleamerica, colombia, panama, costarica..
Later Ive been crossing Canada, USA and Mexico!
I´ve also been to India and Nepal - although Corona stopped me from spending more time there.
Now I´m up for discovering more of Europe!
PORTUGAL; SPAIN; FRANCE! :D

I am also into sustainable travel - I try not to fly (except from germany) and to use only collectivo.
During my travels in Asia I most of the time managed not to pay for accomodation (in exchange for my helping hands and mind) and transportation (hitchhike)...
Also I try to use only natural products as much as possible. I eat meat and fish as little as I can, but still enjoy it when offered as a gift and especially cooked for me - so Im very flexible on my diet :)
