My parents gave me the name Liv, which literally means -to live-. So they left me no choice but to live my life to the fullest. There are some things that are very important to me in this certain life on this crazy planet:

CONNECTING with people! We aren't alone on this earth. It took me some time to realize how important it is to share with people on a soul level. By talking about life's rollercoaster with openminded people, i gain a lot of wisdom. I secretly have very big ears to listen to your lifestories and a warm heart a full of love. (Which sometimes breaks, but nevermind) I care about people a lot and i think anyone should be aware of their own beauty!

EXPRESSION in any form is like food for my soul. I can't run away from struggles, they are just part of this particular life. BUT that doesn't mean to me that we as human beings have to keep all these emotions (which come along with struggles) inside of our bodies. Not at all. I think people stay young at heart when they keep on expressing themselves. Not only verbally in words... Creative Expression offers a lot of freedom. It can be in dancing, in singing, in painting, photography, writing, drama etc. When expression and creativity meet each other life makes more sense to me. As long as I allow myself to FEEL, i am free!

CONCIOUSNESS! About food, lifestyle, humanrights, sustainability, animalrights. I am eager to become concious about anything on this earth, so we can create more peace and love in the world. Although i realize there is much violence in this world, i believe a better world starts with my own thoughts and my own habbits. By integrating love and compassion in my deeds i feel happy and grateful.

EXPLORING the world! Countries, cultures, nature, animals, art, lifestyles, food, religions, etc. And at the same time i am exploring what my passions are!
