CURRENT MISSION

Interested in LOVE/LIFE ALWAYS; connecting, building/ bridging and expanding. Exchanging resources whether it be knowledge and wisdom from others or from exploring this world and reflecting on it and inspiring others with it. I aim to help inspire and heal by any means, I KNOW that the arts, especially music and food are some potent necessary tools to do this, so I am traveling to continue to play part/add my piece within the big picture puzzle overall. Community is the key! These days I’m looking for foundation, a space to build up, and welcome others in.

ABOUT ME

I am very openminded and passionate about life in general; always interested in expanding my knowledge in various places including music, travel, people, nutrition, history etc..... It is very Easy to make and maintain friends...I speak English but would love to learn other languages, I’m at an intermediate level with Spanish. I have interests in visiting so many places, the sky isn't the limit, its infinite, it’s abundant and the time is now. My goal is to live in one place consistently, and w
Settle in, expand on the vision.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is everything, it’s the fuel. Life is the moment and time is always now. Patience, respect and gratitude.
I live my life with respect for myself and others. i know that we are all one and have to build community to gain this and other types of programs helps us to get back to the initial ONEness we have lost over many years, There is no reason why any of us should be so separate and feel unsafe, we have the keys to expand our lives with one another. Health is wealth, less is more, we are what we eat and life is for living. Less competition, more collective resource exchange.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Traveling with vision, going with the dream that is reality. focusing on the things that make me happy, mainly persuing music, going at the artform fullblast and at any means....making the sacrifices against the system to make things work..Its ongoing, this question/answer can change at anytime, so I will leave it open and share in person.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

want to learn more about various cultures and backgrounds and overall history of various people and places to help fit together the overall characteristics of life..the missing puzzle pieces within the world i feel i can learn best through travel.
