About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After i finished my Studies in Psychology I decided to not starting my future work as a psychotherapist directly but going on the road for an undefined time to explore human's nature not through books but through direct experience with whomever i'll cross paths.
Further on, its crucial for being a good psychotherapist to first get to know and develop your inner nature and being, so i want to dedicate my time now to develop and cultivate more awareness and consciousness

ABOUT ME

I am blessed with a good mood and happiness and i love to share my energy with the people around me. If you are ready to listen and feel you get so much from your surrounding and thats a big reason for me to be open for whatever comes to you and to find the beauty that lies in it. I would describe myself as a tolerant, relaxed person who is open to new opinions and different ways of interpreting life. Thats why couchsurfing is such a great thing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot of friends told me about this couchsurfing-organisation and i had to try it! I was impressed about this open and friendly tone, everybody helps you out and gives you tipps. At this point I was able to be a guest in many peoples homes, i was welcomed so openheartedly and warm. This experience made me thankful and i wanted to give this back to the couchsurfing community and people who needed a place to stay in zurich.

Interests

I really love listening and playing music, especially playing together with other people! That's a thing I just detected recently when I stayed in Portugal last summer and fall. I met some amazing street musicians and traveled around with them, learning to play the Cajon, dancing, singing, just spreading joy with music, what a pleasure! :)
I love to move, so I go running or I go out dancing, losing myself to the rhythm. My Bike is my favourite tool to get around the city.
I love to cook vegan and to try out new recipes, ingredients, spices and ways to handle and combine food. Maybe we can share some experiences concerning that?! :)
