CURRENT MISSION

taking the long way home...

ABOUT ME

we (my boyfriend and i) left berlin with no place to go back to to see the world and find a new place to live: enjoying hitchhiking, camping, being outside in general...mainly looking for our selves, finding us in other people.
we left our organised lives with flat, job, family and friends and found a different kind of freedom...that we do not want to give up anymore.

PHILOSOPHY

it's a russian saying: ne imei 100 rublei, a imei 100 drusei...you don't have to have 100 rubels but 100 friends. it is pretty amazing how little I need to live a good life !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can and have the necessary space

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2, so far, in a very welcoming house in marseille. and another in Valencia, also very nice...

Interests

sharing my living space with plants and animals, we are constantly observing and working the vegetable garden, collecting wild herbs and fruits and caring for the animals.
apart from that we organise movie nights in the village, all kinds of surreal movies, silent movies and independent movies from all over the world.
music is very important for me - listening to it - tom waits, modern classical, swing, dark, songwriter, arcade fire.
also photography is something I am very interested in....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

to leave my hometown with nothing but a backpack and lots of good intentions was the most amazing thing i have ever done in my life, so far...home is where my heart is, and it had been here in Olba for over 10 years now...

Teach, Learn, Share

as our village follows the rules of comradship, exchanging things and services, we support the idea of acquisition without currency.

i can share my knowledge of languages, my understanding of plants and gardening and animal communication with you...
