About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Follow my heart and share it.

I'm a curious person. That's the main thing besides intuition that drives me on. My friends say I'm calm, honest, funny, faithful and adventurous.
I'm powerfull and I want to see the world and get to know people living there.

PHILOSOPHY:
Everything happens for a reason, and that reason is there to serve me.
Every day is one life!
Experience is the only teacher!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When i am not visiting a friend somewhere i try to find a new friend, to have good and intensive days with the view of an insider at that place.

My experience is only positive! e.g. I met somebody through cs who is now one of my closest friends. That was a crazy story which shows, that everybody is connected.

Interests

1. Traveling and being on the way. Diving into different worlds, to get close to people, to understand and to tell stories.

2. Achieving consciousness. Developing myself every day and learning with curiosity. I like to think about myself being a really old and wise women, still playing the piano.

3. Being an advisor. As a trusting women for family and friends and also with my films, pictures, presentations and workshops all over the world and at home.

4. Building a treehouse. To live there and as a place that connects people, the nature and the world.

5. Creativity and Passion. Photography, filming, playing the piano, reading....Enjoying the playground of life :D

I would say I have few really close friends, but all the time I'm searching for new connections to have fun or to learn something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on a wide field during flashlights in the middle of the night, the camera on my car and shooting the amazing lights for one hour!

Running away from a wild elephant in the forest of india - stupid tourists. :P

The experience and feeling of having exactly zero money. Freedom and a new beginning! It just can be better!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm photojournalist and make short films, so i can tell you something about photography and my projects. I like to hear good stories and to lern about peoples life and culture. I'm a good listener. I also like to share my optimism and laughing together. There are so many things i would like to learn like diving, playing the drums. But the most important is just to live and enjoy...and to learn about life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm listening and telling stories. Just being usually is the best people can share.
