CURRENT MISSION

'make a little birdhouse in your soul ...'

ABOUT ME

I used to live in Hamburg but have moved to the countryside now, between Trittau and Mölln.
You should be aware of the fact that my home is located in a village without any infrastructure, so you should have your own transport. However, I go to Hamburg nearly every day for work, it's a bit more than half an hour by car.

Interests

I love my cats and spend a lot of time just looking at them :) I also like reading, dancing and music in general. I enjoy nature and am interested in culture at home and abroad. I always try to learn something new, it keeps me running ... I don't like watching sports, and I'm not religious.

So many people here like cooking - I am not one of them, it's rather a necessity sometimes ... although I love eating! And I am not a very neat person but when having visitors I pretend to be ;)

Btw I'm a vegetarian (/vegan), because in my opinion it is not justified to kill animals when there are plenty of alternatives. I do not mind hosting non-veggies, though.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and have a lot of books (German and English language). Some of my favourite writers are: John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Nick Hornby, Gabriel García Márquez, Rebecca Gablé, Ken Follett, Vikram Seth ...
I like music as well, especially Rock/ Alternative/ Indie, S/S ... and electronic music for dancing, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Timbuktu I listened to Bach music played on a solo violin, sitting in the dunes of the Sahara under a star-spangled African sky. (Festival au Désert, 2010)

I travelled from Hamburg to Yekaterinburg and back in my old van, and it was fun :)
