Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To ge to know as many cultures and points of view on this beautiful earth as my brain can process. And to let my spirit grow.
ABOUT ME
I open my eyes, stare at the sky and let my gaze gently sweep across it. Do you know what I see? The sparkle of life. Everything is full of energy, glittering and happy. No matter if the colour of the sky is grey or blue or white or black.
I guess it's those moments that help me create some stability in my life. Still I haven't mastered the art of being in the moment.
I successfully jumped out of the career ratrace and feel now a little bit like a guinea pig let free out of the laboratory into the open world. And I embrace this insecurity, being pulled by this magical urge towards other cultures and countries.
I hope that one day I will create something beautiful from all those wondreous encounters, helping people to grow.
At the moment I’m creating art and films and curating experiences at my studio in Versova.
It’s less abstract then it sounds.
PHILOSOPHY
"The Happiness of Life depends on the quality of your thoughts" (Marcus Aurelius)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After having lived for some years in Stockholm, Sweden, I am now based in Mumbai. Slowly growing new roots.
If my physical being isn't on the road, I am happy to escape with you over a coffee to some other place or to let you discover this beautiful jewel of a city :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing is a philosophy.
Interests
Travelling - it is not just an interest, it's what I am.
On those travels I could maybe stop for a couple of days and nights and spend them in a library. Reading books about Spirituality, Love and other dimensions. Although reading something purely entertaining leaves me with the same feeling I get after eating a huge portion of chocolate icecream.
Talking about chocolate - did you know that raw chocolate actually tastes a lot better than packaged one? Exploring new shores of taste is perfect to pass the time during the long cold Swedish winter - for now homemade German sourdough bread is my challenge!

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies? Bring 'em!
Except horror, I don't care for which genre, as long as the film is new to me - there are only very few movies I've watched twice in my life.
One of them is The Fountain.
I have no clue about music, but as soon as I get to know a new genre I will declare this my favorite for a couple of weeks.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Deciding to travel! Living in a vegan eco commune. (Okay, that’s 2 ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
Never put a watermelon in the freezer!
Negative experiences are the best, as they let you grow even more than good ones.
Horsedung added to the soil lets tomatoes grow better!
