CURRENT MISSION

being happy...here and now :-)

raising my incredibly sweet little daughter... :-) :-) :-)

ABOUT ME

Well...it's always a bit weird to describe oneself..so I chose other surfers' comments which I found most suitable:

"Always eager to learn something new and discover foreign places...a really open-minded person, who travels this planet freely with an adventurous spirit...

...a little bit crazy...

...always dynamic and looking for doing interesting ativities...

...undescribable...

...a fire-spirit-sprite...conscious, curious, in love with the world, equal parts playground and classroom...

...both fun and deep...

...able to let you have the peace back...

...capability to being surprised for every single thing, like a child..."

Since I'm human though I also have incredibly many annoying characteristics, which I try to hold back, but which are also part of me ;-)

I also think that a person's personality can be somehow compared to a mosaic, which consists of all our experience and encounters...

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" (John Lennon)

With reason we only exist - with passion we live!

Everything happens for a reason... (my Mum kept telling me this for a very long and slowly, slowly I manage to believe in that as well...) :-)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Algo increíble que he hecho

Living in a remote indigenous community in the Andes of Ecuador for half a year...I have learned so much about traditional cultural values and also about myself...

Yoga Teacher Training in India (Rishikesh)

Buddhist meditation retreat in India (Dharamsala)

Crossing 5416m high Thorong-La-Pass in Nepal

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm open to share all I can, especially my ideas, stories, way of life, sense of humour and calmness...

I can maybe teach you a bit of Yoga and I'm very interested in learning new things, especially in the field of yoga and other spiritual practices...
