About Me

Since two years I left Berlin- city life to slow down- be in nature- grow green food in the garden- find a way of living which feels more healthy and concruent with the rhytm of nature and searching how we can create some alternative of living in this world.
After some time of travelling and visiting different permaculture projects and communities - I landed now in a small village in Portugal where marco and me gain experiences in growing and conserving our own food, understanding the earth, making compost, living with recycling most things. At the same time we live very basic without electricity and water from the tap- understanding and learning about our needs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling on earth! Slowly and getting to know the places i am coming through. For me getting to know a place means getting to know the people.
What can be more beautiful on a journey as meeting people that invite you to share for some time the life we live. Getting to know people like that is very inspiring!

Interests

I love being outside- being in nature and I love to do creative work- (traditional crafts are extremely interesting to me)
so what I like most is to connect that and: being creative in nature! right know i live this passion by exploring and making natural colours- working with plants
but as well I enjoy being in the city and finding things on the street which can be recycled or get a new use!
