I'm a life coach and yoga teacher, as well as a writer. I'm finding joy in devoting myself to supporting others in their search for meaning and identity.

At the moment, I'm a nomad. I lived in Berlin for 10 years but chose to leave for a while and see where I would land. I'm traveling right now to follow the road of spiritual learnings where it leads – having been in South America for a yoga training, and then Greece for a Tantra training. I'm working my way towards being a teacher in those fields.

I plan to move to Thailand in the near term, however for the moment the necessities of life still call for me to be in Europe for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At this point in my life, I'm a nomad and I don't really have an income. It would be lovely and absolutely helpful to share someone's space and learn more about each other in the process.

Interests

My life is currently centered on deepening my understanding of spirituality as a form of self-empowerment, growth, and healing. I do this through coaching, teaching meditation as well as tantra yoga.

I also do photography. It's a wonderful way to meditation and creative output.

I play the flute as well.

I quite enjoy cooking, too. In general I'll be cooking vegan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, I quit my job as a software engineer, left everything behind, and went on to start my life all over again. I've let go of the judgments and obligations I thought were just a part of life, and choose to be free in a meaningful manner. I'm living with less material things and instead find more meaningful value in just being and appreciated the small beautiful things in the world – the blue sky, the singing birds, and other humans.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and guiding people through meditation. The life coaching I do is actually largely a meditation – one that helps us to listen to the voices inside. I also love to share my experiences and insights into buddhism, yoga, and tantra.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share and guide you through meditation, lend my ear in a coaching session, or cook a delicious meal :-).
