A full-time free spirit, dreamer, bohemian, hippie, free-lover, transcendentalist; an artistic activist for feminism, gay rights, pro-choice, and freedom of speech; an absurd poet and a poetic absurdist, I believe in self-enlightenment, freedom, bicycles, rainbows, flowers, and hummingbirds. I like riding my bicycle in the sun and citing poems when I'm drunk.I want my epitaph to read: "This woman, she never stopped tripping."I play my ukuleles all day long and sometimes blow my melodica for a change. I also secretly live the life of a Cookies Fairy, home-delivering fresh baked cookies to friends in the middle of the night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Must be either the houses in the valleys near the streams in the woods in the Baltic, motorbiking up the mountains alone one summer and throughout the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the next, or those lil' purple hearts dancing on leafy drops and two shorty vegetables swimming among shades of green while slowly and beautifully landing after a trip in the forest (if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. truly enlightening).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to inspire (I dare not use the word teach!) people to cycle, bake, cook, crochet, knit, cross-stitch, stage acting, and talk days and nights about anything psychology- or poetry- or philosophy-related.
I'd like to learn almost everything, usually something quirky and surprising, something nerdy, and certainly something yummy. I collect recipes from all over the world.
