Overview
About Me
Lovely people!
I'm a 27-years-old, born and raised Luxembourger, devoted nomad and lifelong philosophy student. After my studies in the enthralling city of Cologne, Germany and Madrid, I spent the last years on-and-off-travelling and volunteering through the wonderlands of Latin America and Southern Europe!
*
Graduated in philosophy and social anthropology at the University of Cologne, I am fond of transcending life, its states of oddity and beauty, wandering the world and absorbing as much of it as possible. Grateful for all the life-thrilling involvements I was able to experience so far, for the inspiring and wondrous encounters that planted precious seeds in the garden of my mind, making me thrive on my way without destination.
Detaching oneself from one's yet too often self-destructive microcosm, abandoning the feeling of illusionary certainty while cherishing the sensation of absolute release and immersing oneself in the world's ocean of intuitive joy and wisdom are engines leading me to further unfoldments of life!
I fancy knowledge and inner growth, though I'm well aware of its very relative nature: accumulating it, doesn't necessarily mean one grows a deeper, steadier relationship between oneself and the world... 'It is our knowledge - the things we are sure of - that makes the world go wrong and keeps us from seeing and learning.' (Lincoln Steffen) - In this spirit: let's learn by experiencing together!
When not caught up in wondering about life's manifestations, I enjoy reading, writing, dancing, listening and talking to people, gardening, crafting dreamcatchers, cooking, drinking and eating life's fruits, hiking and engaging into all kinds of outdoor delights.
Traveling or altering spaces and situations, and moods provide far more fruitful and genuine opportunities than just escaping from one's very reality, I think; they offer to pursue and create new realities, actually!
Constantly attempting to strive after a minimalist and humble articulation of life, I try to focus on essentials while not tempting to cause any further trouble or evil in this world - keen to spread peace and happiness through simple acts, by opening my very self for others! Also strongly obsessed with the idea of helping to connect the world's consciousness by means of sharing emotions and experiences with one another! Living equals living together!
Lately, while voyaging Latin America on an inspiring journey that was dedicated to diversify my skills and to get more hands-on experiences on the matter of ecology and permaculture, I have adopted and manifested a stark devotion, a fierce passion for working the soil, and showing gratitude for it!
The blend of elements, immersing into holistic, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle practices are what move me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To connect with genuine beings from all around the globe or just around the corner - everyone has made beautiful experiences in life which he or she can share with other people in order to enrich their lives even more!
Interests
Travelling, hiking, writing, freelancing, dancing, meditating, awareness, veganism, permaculture, cultures, reading, music, philosophy and languages, etc.
There is a plethora of passions, interests, and devotions that comprise the human essence - have a look at Hermann Hesse's "Steppenwolf" to convince yourself of the complexity and the multifacetedness of human consciousness!
Rather than self-imposing so-called professions that are to be pursued lifelong and that, all the more, inject the toxic routines into your veins, make sure to nourish the myriads of identities appropriately, in order for your Self and Higher Self to thrive!
