About Me

I am a buddhist and vegan and ambiamourous. Trying to walk on the path of Dhamma. And striving for a sustainable, peaceful, non capitalist world.
I don't know many (if any) people like that. Still happy to be me. :)
I am very open. But also getting stronger in letting go of habits and connections that I don't want to continue or start.

My hosting:
I have quite a busy life so I will not always be able to be present for you as much as I maybe would want to be, even if I agree upon your request.
I will check your profile and respond less or more open depending on if I feel our live styles are matching, compatible or complementairy. Mostly I will respond by explaining my current activities, plans, mood, who will be around, and the level of presence I can offer. So you know what to expect.
Especially longer stays than one night I don't respond easily with yes. Please don't assume it is personal. :) I strive to live non judgemental.
Please don't bring or use non-vegan food, alcohol, drugs, in my house! (It matters to me) Also please try to use non violent communication and nobel speech (don't make others accountable for things that are yours, refrain from lying, gossip and harsh words)
Besides this serious part of me I also like being playful and spontaneous very much :)

My older intro, but still accurate:
Turning arround my life.
From working and doing all the things people expect you to do,
to listening to my heart and the universe.
Learning to live by my self. Enjoying everything I do.
Appreciating the people I meet.
My passions: Nature, Sporting, Dancing, Tekno, 3D-art, Spirituality, Helping people to become more conscious and suffer less, Vegan food and Dhamma
I want to travel, enjoy nature and life, and meet new friends.
I am interested in open minded friends, and doing things I like, or have not done before.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, especially electronic music (DnB, tenko, deephouse,..)
not so much jazz, country
Also I like lots of movies, sci fi, adventure, action, romantic, drama, humor, but not horror or movies with violent scenes.
I'm not much of a reader.
But if I read, it is books about sci-fi, fantasy, psychology or spirituallity.
