About Me

I'm a pretty easy-going and like an open book I would say. I take life as it comes, try to always live here and now, to see all the beauty around me. I'm in love with this beautiful world and all it's inhabitants! :) Therefore I care a lot about our nature, that we are part of.
I love to be outside, to go on adventures and explore or just hang out in sweet places with good people and good vibes. Music is a big part of my life, too. Even though I'm just learning my first instrument now. I'm living in Berlin for the summer, not working and really enjoying this city at the moment! I love going dancing, chillin' in parks, bars or clubs, meeting new people, having good talks and cold beers, or do some activities. I'm up for pretty much everything!
I think life is awesome and I love what happens when I let it go a little, when I stop worrying! How everything falls into place. Almost like life is guiding me. I'm usually optimistic and try to see the positive side at everything. You are happy if you want to be.
And I think, that everything happens for a good reason. Simply because we are all connected and it's all just vibration and resonance. So let's share the love and the love will change the world! :)

I'm dreaming of living in a self-sufficient permaculture community, somewhere in the world. After this summer I want to check out some places and get some experiences. I'm already dealing with permaculture and have helped building earth domes in Thailand.
So if there is anyone, who wants to join for just opening a new community somewhere, let me know! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To surf couches ;)
And to offer my couch to travelers. Paying it forward. And to meet fantastic people of course!
