Please dont worry about my response rate, I am hosting people as of July 2023!

Profiles are like advertising. I am not a product -but at the same time, I value the internet as a source of awesomeness so I will tell you what I know about myself in the spirit of trust, openness, and curiosity.

I believe in a happy life that is healthy; full of learning, challenging, exchanging, creating, sharing, growing. Also chilling from time to time.

I believe in Collective Energy, which every being is a part of. I practice love in many forms; eating food made with love, living in a loving environment, talking with love, touching earth periodically, meditating, stretching, socializing.

I am a non-formal anthropologist. I love it when I get to stay with a family in a foreign country spontaneously, to have conversations even when we don't have a lingua franca and to observe their lives, the realtionship within family/friends circle; as I also enjoy showing them pictures from my travels, which comes handy for me in situations like those where verbal communication is limited.

I love it when people share their words with me -when somebody cares enough to share something for the sake of it, that’s heaven to me.

I believe in open communication, such as I believe that many miscommunications stem from the lack of open communication. I never do a thing that I would be ashamed to tell, and that is actually because I am never ashamed to tell anything I do. I am a human thus, my actions and my qualities are humane, so even if something about me doesn’t seem to be approved by the society, I don’t hesitate to share it with fellow human beings. Neither to answer any question anybody asks -unless these proposers are in a uniform that gives them power from a suppressing facility. I find it funny when people read and practice some article advice suggesting people who would like to be cool to have a more mysterious air.

I practice being an extrovert, there is always some room to improve, though; as in everything.

I think traveling is a means, not a tick on the to-do list before dying.

During my journey in Egypt, in the beginning of 2016, I realised that most of the people are ‘consumers’ and what they seek from people is the potential benefits they could consume. It is very scary, because they are not aware of that and they even might feel emotional bonds with those people while doing that. They tend to also want you to consume them, establishing the situation into a ‘good deal’, with their qualities they show-off to you. For that reason, I don’t enjoy interacting with people who try to show off their skills or qualities that could be seen cool by the society, for consumerism is not just about craving to shop and to own, but also about consuming beings. For example, in my view, the act of asking someone “how are you” -or we can call it holding a small conversation- without actually caring for that person and solely for the purpose of asking a favour is a trial for consumption. Or the needy guy in public transportation who stares at women (or the other way around) is actually consuming the view of these human beings they expose to their environment.

Also discovered that a big quantity of people is born emotion-narrated. We once in a while look for reasons to laugh, to cry, to get angry, to pity, to admire, to fall in love, to dramatize, to be jealous of, to dominate. We all feel a ‘need' to experience each of these and maybe much more that I do not know about and when we find the good circumstances, we go for it, affect the people and then we show a culturally-acceptable reason for our emotional reaction; which I believe to be a big problem in social relationships.

Being a rainbow person:
"Deep inside my heart I've got this
Everlasting love
It's shining -like the sun
It radiates on everyone"

CURRENT DREAMS

+To find a good balance between settling down in a place and to keep traveling
+To be able to write and film it all what I have in my head before I die
+To learn how to live organically
+To sit a Vipassana course
+To go from one rainbow to another lifelong
+To visit Japan, USA, intentional communities, the space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because i love listening to new stories and ideas and get something more after every travel. I love adventure.

I really like the little surprises of the life.

Interests

Right as we are in 2017: Babylone, sacred plant, still people, more nature.

2016 Edit on interests: Life and to live. Local traditional communities, cultures, their languages, human behavior, human relationships, amazing things on Earth, how to survive or even enjoy your life anywhere in a healthy way. Rainbows, alternative medications, herbs, meditation, yoga.

2015: My interests for the moment is on hippie communes, squats or crazy houses, freegan lifestyle, human relationships and polyamory. And I am thinking a lot about ethics in general and the decision between nomading and settling down.

thinking, books, movies, writing, traveling, languages, piano, guitar, biking, swimming, dancing, mangas, animes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mostly things that surround what my endless, quirky motivation to "try" drifted me into.

+Crossing the Sahara Desert by hitchhiking solo-female, Tangier to Senegal. 3.500 km's in 1 week non-stop with extinct Spanish trucks moving 30kms/h) with no maps, my phone passed-out. Crossing morocco-western sahara-Mauritania-senegal-Gambia borders on feet accident-free, feeling thankful.

+Leaving home to travel all around Europe in 3 months as I turned 18, solo female as my first trip, hitchhiking+couchsurfing, with 0 euros, losing my whole luggage 3 times

+My life in Senegal, where I got to learn about awareness and how to "literally" get out of my comfort zone. Where I was made to speak a survival French in 2 weeks. where I did the laundry, wash the dishes and cook for the first time, in Senegalese way. (Time to end up being a princess!)

+Swiss Rainbow Gathering in the Alps, where I think I have found the real love. (which isn't probably what you think, not a romantic one) How I got there, how I found it, what have happened there; all awesome stories.

+Egyptian world rainbow gathering in the Bedouin desert, where i think i learned how to feel.

+Hanging out my washing in Venice, when I felt like I was destroying the historical and magical atmosphere of the city. Also one of my trousers fell down on a street which was packed with tourists.

+Washing 'all' of my clothes in a cemetery after a period-disaster somewhere in France

+Sleeping at night on the floor next to a cool French couple in Rome Airport, getting to know them and couchsurfing at their place in France after 3 days.

+Having been crying in the middle of 'Karnaval die Kulturen' before on my way back home in Berlin and having met some really nice Germans, by them trying to cheer me up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it is hilarious that hosts and guests could exchange while couchsurfing!

People say I am a good at observing and analysing, so I can talk about anything I observed :) Also I can teach you Turkish, English, tell you about my Islam, about hitchhiking, how to travel for free/low-budget.

It would be a pleasure to listen to anything you would like to share with me: your memories, dreams, your family, your likes, your thoughts... to learn how to play an instrument, a language,an art, a recipe, anything.
