About Me

currently have no fixed home, traveling.

i'm a social worker usually based in Berne, Switzerland.
I love getting to know new people and new sides of life. i'm really interested in gender studies, social psychology, post-colonial studies, social movements and all kinds of adventures, exploring the world and other human beings :)

i'm also very much into removing taboos, questioning things like sex, gender, death and so on.

oh yes and i'm a green feminist who gets a lot of inspiration from meditation

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love getting to know new people, especially people from other countries/regions/cultures/religions...

i think money's shit it destroys so much -
I believe in sharing and exchanging :)

life is so simple once you realise the only thing you really have to do is die!
- the rest is your choice

Interests

Climate change bothers me a lot so i don't board planes within europe and try to limit flights to other continents to a minimum if i can't manage to travel overland or sea. along with participating in foodsharing (a network to fight foodwaste) and buying only second-hand clothes this is what i try to contribute to a 'system change not climate change'.
