Overview
About Me
Who Am I?
A question I stoped asking myself, since I'm changing and evolving every day!
I grew up and lived nearly whole my life in Berlin and that's why I'm very used to different cultures and languages.
First I studied at the criminal police in Berlin, but after 2 and a half years, I left since I realized that I don't fit into this structures. But I learned a lot about my self and the society! Also I have to say that I met wonderful people there, really willing to change the system. Because of them I lost a lot of my prejudice I had before.
Afterwards I went to Thailand, nearly died there and this experience brought a lot of energy to change my life.
I began to search for my purpose in life and actually what life is really about.
I like what Victor Frankl said to that: there is not ONE purpose of a life. Every single moment the life is asking you. And it is about you to answer. So there is the purpose of this moment. And then there comes another one.
Well my answer was to study social working and I started to dive deeper into meditation practise. Until Now I attended 4 retreats, each at least 10 days long. I read an enormous amount of books of a lot of different wisdom tradition.
Then two years ago I moved in a community with 11 adults and 8 children and a lot of animals (most of them were chickens!)
Im very happy about everything i learned so far but now i took a decision.
I left my home, took a break in my studies, quit my job and i started to be a wandering bard (musician) not knowing where i will sleep the next day. I dont have a lot of savings, so i will mostly live from my guitar and my stories that i can tell. I don't took a book, because I would like to write one by myself
I have no goal except coming more closely to myself, nature, cultures and languages. Maybe i will end this journey after a month, with hurting legs, I have no idea.
For now it is my life purpose.
Im happy to finally let go all the leashes that hold me back and said i have to do this or become that.
I feel freedom and I'm so thankful for that!

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite song right now is Eastern Sun from Ayla Nereo
But as I am maybe it is already another one!
My favorite film is "Soul", a Disney movie about the purpose of life.
I learned a lot from Victor Frankl and Jacques Lusseyran. Two people who survived the Holocaust and wrote books about their life, that deeply moved me.
