Overview
About Me
Hi there, currently traveling around Cyprus with my friend Jonas (latest pic), who just recently joined me on my journey for some time
I’m especially curious about humans, nature, animals, art, a sustainable way of living and community living.
Besides that I’ve always enjoyed making things with my own hands a lot. I’m addicted to anything creative and diy and always love to find something new to discover!
Since I grew up in a spiritual community I am still influenced by a pretty open minded view on people and life in general. I love to discuss certain topics and listen to other people’s thoughts and perspectives, expanding my horizons and finding/sharing my own beliefs in all that.
I try to be mindful and reflected in my thoughts and actions and to surround myself with harmonious and calming energy. Which doesn’t mean I can’t be silly have fun and fool around :)
At the same time I can be impulsive/spontaneous/adventurous (whatever you want to call it) like going to Cyprus with a one way ticket and no plan ahead
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am currently very adventurous and curious about life outside of my comfort zone.
I feel extra free and experimental these days to find a new way of living for myself, a community and some place where I might want to settle/live long term-ish or just experience raw life traveling the globe for a while

Music, Movies, and Books
I grew up listening to techno and psytrance in Berlin as a teen and enjoyed some fun time exploring edm festivals and clubs in the scene
Nowadays I don’t party a lot anymore but still like a fun night out here and there with good company
I like to discover music and movies from all over the world and love to explore cultures in that way (and through food:)
I feel drawn to books that explore the inner world in either a poetic, spiritual or medical way and by showing new ways and examples of personal growth.
I also enjoy any good fantasy book I can get my hands on
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I recently met an artist from Berlin Kreuzberg in Cyprus by coincidence, who also lives just a street away from my apartment in Berlin. We spent some fun time together sharing our passion for art and music
Teach, Learn, Share
I studied occupational therapy and worked with a whole variety of people in need, from children to neurological patients to people suffering from addiction and mental health issues to seniors. I like to help wherever I can.
Let’s hang out, share and exchange culture, perspectives and experiences
