About Me

Right now I have plenty of time for everything that catches my mind, I´m exploring old industrial buildings and taking photographs, philosophising with friends on a walk or in bars, cooking delicious food with my flatmates, visiting my brother on his organic farm, learning more english and spanish...
And what´s always on my mind is: How can we change our western society´s focus on money, distraction, career and stuff?
We need more love, indeed - for ourselves, for the people that are close to us and of course, for everyone. How to spread this? How to make everybody understand? How can I bring more love to our world? ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I go to see a new place on our earth, I want to meet people, that know more about this place, than I do. Since I was a child, my family always tried to stay with local people, when we went on holiday. So we met a warmly old lady in the Czech Republic, serving grapes from her garden every morning or spent some time with the playful kittens on a farmstead in the Alps after a long hiking day.
In the same way I like to show somebody where I live or be a support on his travels.

Interests

Nature - forests, meadows, mountains, rivers - if there are some near, I´d love to see them. If you have a garden, let´s go there and see what we can do, and if we are lucky, let´s harvest something :)
Old architecture. I write old, cause I don´t like cities built up from skyscrapers. Way too busy and hectically for me. Too many people that run for money.

Music, Movies, and Books

Timber Timbre. Mumford&Sons. Ratatat. The tallest man on earth. These musicians I listen to while having breakfast or reflect about something. When it comes to freaking out, I love drum´n´bass!
Erich Fromm - The art of loving and Rosenbergs non-violent communication are the most important.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped from a cliff into a natural pool, knowing that I have to reach a narrow gap between the rocks. I´m still alive ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Once a friend told me, I am her teacher in happiness - maybe I cannot always accomplish. Another friend said, I taught her selfacceptance. So when we have some time, let´s share our perspectives of life.
I´m in when it comes to learning more about how to ignore other peoples expectations or just some new vocab :)
I´m always interested in some new ways or ingredients to satisfy a hungry stomach, mind and soul.
