About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling (started october '12) - Opening my eyes and hart again

ABOUT ME

Most of the time I'm really good-tempered, joyfull and optimistic.
Sometimes I might have a strong will and seem a bit egocentric to others, but not selfish! I just really like to do what feel I like. And I invite everyone to do the same.
Still all is one and often all is good for me.
I'm easy going!

I love many kinds of sports.
Some more adventures than others.

During my youth I had always dreamed about exploring our globe by making BIG travels.
At a certain point I realized that I had given up on that dream. I thought that such things were not possible for me, in my lifesituation.
I was living a stereotype western routined life.
And Idealism had gotten quite blurry.

I said to myself that I had to do it NOW - or else maybe never! -
Saved all the money I could for about half a year and planned to give up most of my belongings - old and dusty clothes, stuff you have but never use, job, apartment ... -

To get the real experience; see and feel how the local people live, to make new friends, to have a lot more fun and to reduce my spending's I'd like to combine being a traveler with voluntarily working and couch surfing.

Still looking for ways to expand my horizons ...

PHILOSOPHY

Live to love.
Be here and now, trying to live every moment to the fullest. feeling the joy in everything I do.
And everything that I do, I try to do with passion.
Keep the mind open; never stick to only 1 philosophy !!
