--hopefully soon able to host again--

CURRENT MISSION

After 2 years of free roaming I want to settle again and will apply for a masters degree in Transformation Design (so if this works out I'll move from Berlin to Braunschweig this fall).
For now I enjoy being back to my hometown, amazed by how much there is to explore still

ABOUT ME

I did a bachelor in anthropology and latin america studies, then I went to south america for one year and a half, did some volunteer jobs, but most of the time just lived, got to know culture and people and myself.
I'm curious about alternative ways of living and I think we need different approaches to social and environmental problems . So I spend a great deal of my time exploring different places, tools and practices that seek to cultivate a more sustainable and conscious society (like eco-communities, permaculture, self-sufficiency, circular enconomies, second hand- & sharing culture).
I'm a reader and a thinker, but it's equally important to me to work on something with my hands and it gives me utter satisfaction to finish a project. I dance Bal Folk and other couple dances. And Techno. I love to be out there in the nature with my tent, but I also like the big city.
