Please note, I do not live in Berlin - so if that’s your destination I’m not the right host.

Outdoorsy bookworm who loves forest walks, cycling and dancing. I find joy in watching birds or a caterpillar or a playing dog, the smell of a flower, swimming in the lakes, sun... all the small things.

After a few years break from CS I’ve rediscovered it again and enjoyed hosting and surfing this summer. Somehow there’s always a warm connection to be found and stories to be shared over a dinner or an exploration together. I’m glad Airbnb has not completely taken over the world 😉

Having said that, the difference between CS and a hotel is that generic copy & paste requests will likely not be successful with me. What I appreciate is when we take the time to read each other’s profiles and make a choice in connecting because of it. And be sure you’ll always get a message back from me. Even if I can’t host, I’ll let you know why. I find it a shame that many people don’t bother these days. It’s basic courtesy for me.

I am passionate about body-mind work, Contact dance, Georgian polyphonic singing & Kundalini Yoga. With NLP, EFT, Shiatsu & Somatic Bodywork I help people to heal body and mind from trauma and stress.

After living abroad in Scotland for over 17 years I found it challenging to integrate again into my own culture, alas Berlin is nearby and an international mix which I appreciate. I choose to live in Potsdam though, cause more than crowds I need nature.
