About Me

I am exploring the world and myself with an aim of manifesting creative thought and action. I travel because it brings me down to Earth, reminds me to be grateful for the little things and is the best teacher ever. Living with a feminist and queer ideology, trying as much as possible to unpack my personal "baggage". I am thankful to have been introduced to the world surrounded by incredible land and water scapes, so seeing and being in nature is central to who I am. I am a relentless people person, usually a listener who can still give his own input.

... I am a little more stationary at the moment as to when I wrote the above description, but even so I try to embody a moving-but-not-moving mentality... if that makes any sense.

inspire me visually and my heart is warmed

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam across the Moei river, the border between Thailand and Myanmar to find a cave full of gemstones and a phoenix scrawled in charcoal across the walls. Turquoise waters and sunshine, amazing rock faces and forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I've learned and know very well is not so much skills, but rather a creative, critical and open perspective that I also think is quite valuable to learn from.

I love to cook (and I think I am quite skilled), and I am happy to make some nice meals, teach some recipes and share them around of course!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A positive attitude, a good vibe, some crazy stories, an ear, a smile, a heart, a soul, a little dance, a little meal, a little drawing.........
