***currently not actively hosting, but open for messages to meet up with people if we share common interests***

I don't reply to requests that appear as if people haven't even read my profile. I want to make sure we get along so if that's not even worth a few mins time to look over my profile & tell me in one or two sentences what we have in common or why you want to stay with me of all people I won't bother replying.

Mine is a LGBTIQ*-friendly home - queers of all flavours welcome. :)

i cherish honesty, trustworthyness, considerateness and taking responsibility for one's actions, but i also treasure emotionality and spontaneity. i believe that often the things we do that seem small to us make the most amazing changes in the world.

i am currently mainly working as bodyworker, doing small jobs such as petsitting, training as nature & forest therapy guide & forest bathing guide and also studying religious studies & gender studies. i have previously studied german & english literature and worked as a librarian for many years. also self-identified queer witch, crazy catlady, filmmaker, performance artist, teaparty hostess etc. rainbows, blueberries, bubbles & sunflower fields make me incredibly happy.

CURRENT MISSION
queer-feminist world domination. and something completely different.

PHILOSOPHY
"what do you do? - nothing. i let life rain on me." - attributed to rahel varnhagen

"even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth: ‘you owe me.’ look what happens with a love like that: it lights up the whole sky." - hafiz

"one must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star." - friedrich nietzsche
