About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world and finding ways to exchange, share, and give and receive knowledge that are outside the monetary economy.

ABOUT ME

Love to travel, learn new cultures and languages, live in foreign countries and integrate with the local culture. Always looking for NGO projects that serve to raise consciousness and awareness, especially of ways to live in harmony with the rest of the natural world. Gypsy wandering the planet :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Alduous Huxley, William Gibson, Isaac Asimov, EF Schumacher are a few authors that I love. I love music from all over the world, especially classical Indian music and Sufi Islamic devotional music (Qawwali from Pakistan). Also electronic psychedelic music (Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Vibrasphere).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10 days in silent meditation hardest thing I´ve ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share my learnings and experiences of global social and economic realities if you want an earful! Can tell you about wonderful social projects taking place in different parts of the world, especially in Central America, and about ways and techniques of finding peace within. Like to practice languages (French, Spanish) and want to learn how to play tabla and to learn more about organic farming and off-grid sustainable living.
