About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Think less about the future and be more present. I am about to finish a trip, which I started in May 22. In April I will travel Germany for a while until I will return to Cologne in May. I do have a new vision of living in a construction trailer, growing veggies, sit at the fire, making music and sing. Where and with whom I do not know yet. I really wanna improve in singing, Ukulele, Guitar and Handdrums.

ABOUT ME

Ouh, thats a difficult question. I am very sensitive. Mostly introvert, but there are times where I am the opposite.
I am happy to experience new stuff and new People. Whatever and whoever it is.
I appreciate mother nature. I wish, that we could stop thinking about economic progress and making more and more money. Rather (it is probably an illusion) it would be great if we use our brain skill to go a step back and live closer to the nature. It makes me sad, that media got so much power and let many people think, our western lifestyle is the one and only, just to make benefit. I experienced lifestyles, which were in line with nature.
I do not like racism and sexism.
I just do not like thinking in a box.
I believe every human is somehow good.
I guess there is no darkness, some people are just too far from the light :)
