Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning to make money in a joyful way. To sing and make music with others. Finding a home close to nature.
ABOUT ME
I feel deeply connected to mother earth and I try to spend as much time as possible out in nature. I love silence and meeting heartfelt people. I love to sing. I practice and teach mantra yoga, yoga teacher training. As a Reiki Master, I sometimes give Reiki initiations. I hold singing circles and yoga concerts. I love making music with others when the opportunity arises. Also I like to make new opportunities for evolving in joined music making. I organize international retreats for shamanism and healing. I spend a lot of time with my spiritual practices, often in Ashram. Often I go to the forest to collect herbs, flowers to make tea and medicine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
to make new friends and discover new places
Hello, I have been on couchsurfing since 2008 and I have met the best people I am still friends with today in San Francisco. After a long time of absence here, I activated my profile again, because I will be traveling with my partner Lukas to Portugal (Faro/Sagres/Lagos) Portugal August 5 - 15 2024. We would love to find a host who wants to share his home with us for the time we will be there. We love to cook and sing for you. We are very kind, respectful, open minded and clean. Couch Surfing is the best way to stay in one place because it opens my heart and mind in an undescribable inspiring and magical way. I am forever grateful for this blessing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
pioneer
Interests
I practice and teach yoga with sound and I go hiking almost every weekend. I love making new connections with inspiring people all over the world. This can be through singing, making music, meditating, creating a retreat together, gardening, cooking, going for walks, thrift shopping, eating out or coffee/tea. I love good food. And dancing. There is so much power in silence. And in joy and laughter. I want to make my life more simple and find and express the essence and simplicity in everything. Trying to be practical. I am a good writer and I want to find more time for reading again. When I travel, I enjoy making music, macrame, drawing, eating and spending time with new people, laughing, as well as in silence. I currently want to create a new path for me of making money in a joyful way.
