Overview
About Me
I live to feel alive. Join me.
Please read My home before sending me requests.
I'm a multifaceted thinker. I believe that openness is key to evolving as a human.
I value spontaneity. If you can surprise me you have a good chance of winning my interest. Planning is overvalued, as it undermines our freedom.
I love to stay active.
Right now I'm trying to learn handstands. Yoga is my latest interest. I got into it really deep about 1-2 years ago and it has been key to my development as a human being. At first it was a real struggle because after almost every session I would get emotional as the tension was being released from my body. But now I'm finally overcoming it. I believe that a strong body equals a strong mind. 💪🏼
I love going out dancing, meeting new people and exploring different spectrum of the world. I welcome new experiences.
Generally I am an active person, I can't go through an entire day without any type of exercise - it is crucial to my lifestyle. It gets my heart pumping and fills me with joy and energy. I wouldn't have survived without it.
Musician; writer; dance goddess; bachelor in psychology; biking; running; philosophy; lifting; tabata; yoga; beer.
I'm finishing edidting my first novel before sending it to publishers. It's about different constellations in relationships and the difficulties of clear communication - the misunderstandings that occur. I also examine some philosophical perspectives throughout.

I love literature, philosophy, psychology, dance, art, music; basically everything involving creativity.
I enjoy discussions about high and low; love to examine different ways of thinking, which I find to be the most essential part of my life. I never want to stop evolving. I value taking in new perspectives of life, which couchsurfing is great for.
Beer entusiast; read 'snob', haha.
Can't start my mornings without coffee!
