Hello beautiful creatures :-)

I'm a very curious and positive crazy guy from the black forest with a beautiful heart :-) I recently got self employed, because I want to what I want when I want and not what and how others tell me. I want to live free, authentic and self-determined. More about me on my website: https://joanimo.me/this-is-me/

If you request to stay with me, please read my "home" section in this profile before.

Corona update: I am not vaccinated against covid. Come on people, its my own decision ;-) I actually DON´T HATE. I think it is woke nowadays in Germany to hate people or political parties if you don´t agree to their opinion or the agenda you follow. And I don´t believe to the news in German television. They make some propaganda and we citizens get forced by law to pay for that. If this is a reason for you not to host me, or not to request staying with me, you don't need to bother continue reading.

I really enjoy travelling, meeting interesting, positive and life-affirming people and get to know new cultures from all over the world. I am very interested in spirituality (self discovery), self-development, psychology and tantra yoga.

I think the human connection in today´s society comes very short. We should look each other in the eyes again and don't keep body contact only for realationships because our moral beliefs tell us. A massage, cuddling or just a hug is a nice experience, not only if the other one has the official title boyfriend or girlfriend. We often avoid it, even if it would be good for our heart and soul. We are to shy to ask.

There are some situations where the other people would describe me as an introvert. At gatherings with many people (except Rainbow gathering) I don´t feel like chitchat about insignificant topics or making stupid jokes just to avoid the silence (especially when I know that I will not meet these people again in my life)
On the other hand in surroundings where I feel safe and welcome, with fellow weirdos around me, I can be a very talkative, open and funny person. Also, I enjoy more to meet small groups or a single person - I like it much more to talk deeply about interesting stories from somebody's experience of life where you can make conclusions that can help you to develop yourself further.

I am adventurous, I love to explore new things or better: to do something, that I never did before.
»Impossible is just a stupid word people use because they are too afraid to try.« Serge Roetheli

I am kind of stubborn in some way. When I really want to do something, I will do it, no matter what the others say. And when I really believe in an idea, I hold on to it until the end.

And I love children and animals, because they are real. They do not pretend to be somebody, just to make a good impression. I want to be like a child who doesn't search but begins.

I am a vegan. Animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends. So please consider that when you host me.
Also I don't eat industrial sugar and don't drink alcohol.

Honesty is very important for me. To relate real and authentic with people it is necessary to be absolutely honest. Not only when you say something. Also after you say something and realise that you did not share 100% honest what you feel. So you should talk to this person again and make clear what and why you said was not 100% honest.

VISION OF LIFE

Hold on to your dreams and let them keep your eyes shining!

The Song "Pioneer" by THE BAND PERRY - I guess they wrote it for me ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I arrived in Samoa, walked into the airport, saw the tag on the passport desk "Jesus loves you", heard the band playing welcome songs for me. When I got out of the airport, felt the warm air, got into one of the funnily designed buses, heard the Samoan bass music, felt the air blowing in my face and hair, and seeing the beautiful Samoan nature outside.......then I knew, I was in paradise... ;-)

European Rainbow Gathering 2021 - I love you rainbow family!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to dance Salsa und Bachata. Also Acro Yoga.
I can offer you a Tantra Massage or a Thai Yoga Massage in return.

Also we can do Yoga together, I can teach you Massage or we can just have great, deep conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer everyone a big hug! I'm always ready for a good and deep conversation.
I am a great masseur. I offer my host a massage.
I'd love to play soccer with you or do other sports. Also we can play chess or card games.

I would like to support you if you need help in or around the house or on the internet. Honestly I feel better with a host if I can give back something. I appreciate a lot that you open your house and heart for me. You are somebody who "stands by me" in a place far away from home and that is really special.

*Dear hosts, If you want me to conribute with money, buying something, helping something around the house, giving you a massage (head, shoulders, feet, neck) etc. to the expenses of my stay, please tell me directly. I am not so sure, how and how much my host want me to contribute. I cooked something or went shopping before and came along very well with my host. But after I left they wrote me in the reference that I did not contribute enough. Even money is not the CS way, i can give you some if you're happy then. So please tell me while I am there, what you expect instead of writing something in the reference. This is not ok. I am very happy to fulfill your expectations.*
