ABOUT ME

All about me .... hmm, sounds difficult. To describe my character in a few words I would say that I am..

optimistic, generous, sincere, authentic, honest, easygoing, adventurous, openminded, active (I always want to do 10 things at the same time), sometimes a bit crazy, I would say I'm a very direct person (maybe a bit to direct sometimes - perhaps its my northern german influence..sometimes maybe I should think more before saying things ;)..)

I like to laugh a lot and I would say that I'm a quite outgoing and talkactive person but I also can be serios, quiet, melancholic ..and sometimes also a bit moody and chaotic as well ;)

I grew up in a little village in the north of Germany, so I like to be in the nature.. First I traveled a lot in Europe, than I got addicted to Latin America, in total I lived and traveled there about 1 1/2 years..Now I'm up to discover other parts of the world!

PHILOSOPHY

People often care a lot about outward circumstances. But Happiness doesn't only depend on this. It's all in your head - if you decide in your mind to be happy you are happy!! :)

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." - by Gandhi, Mahatma.

but it isn't possible to be happy always all the time..

"Even the happiest life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."

"Auch das glücklichste Leben ist nicht denkbar, ohne ein gewisses Maß an Dunkelheit und das Wort Glück würde seine Bedeutung verlieren, hätte es nicht seinen Widerpart in der Traurigkeit."

(C.G. Jung)
