About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live truth nature // becoming a diving instructor //

ABOUT ME

Keep on smiling. Keep on laughing. Those things are out there for free, we just have to use them. I am a very positive person who can always add a piece positivity to anything dark. I am a very serene and relaxed person, one result of living in India for more than 3 years.

I am someone who wants to see the world, tries different cuisines, tries weird food, goes with vibes and sparkles. I like watching people, how they move, speak, eat or treat each other.

PHILOSOPHY

Love - Truth - Nature

Interests

Sport: I really love to do any sports and I'm always interested to do new kinds of sport. my favorite is fencing.
I love languages. how they sound, how to imitate them. word-plays, communication, symbols.

Cooking and learning to cook is always fun. the best is when my friends dig into in and like what I made.
photography of professional ones and as a hobby to see little details in my surroundings.

Big passion: dancing - Love to move my ass, my arms and my eyes... :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had some right-in-front-of-me-killed snake and bat meat. But before that I drank snake blood which was supposed to strengthen male people. Interestingly nothing changed in my body.

I do meditation of 10 days silence - sounds crazy, it is crazy and would bring world peace if everybody would do that : ) seriously.

I went on a solo road trip with a scooter on Lombok / Indonesia.

I did a solo bicycle tour at the German Baltic Sea coast. Amazing time with my racing bike.

1001 stories can be added from my times in India. I've been to many different places and met many funny, weird and crazy people in India who touched my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share stories of India - as I got to know a lot of different states, different people, different families, different languages, different rituals.

I love baking, done it professionally and one day will return to baking for a good cause. Getting together for some baking sessions, is what I can offer you as well.

And most important the way of Dhamma, the Vipassana Mediation. Would love to share more about this meditaiton with others as it is really enriching one's life and changing you and me only for the better!

What I Can Share with Hosts

BAKING ! I am a professional pastry chef...telling ya... cheesecakes, cookies, tartes, pastries, Pralines, wedding cakes, you name it....

Dancing times. I love dancing and won't stop if you don't stop.
