Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Living as a nomad - a few days after I graduated I took my bag and left my town to find out for how long I can cruise around the planet. At present, trying to leave India ;)
ABOUT ME
Probably, they would say that I am one of the most curious person they ever met :)
I have a peace- and colourful spirit that can get into anything - from the beauty of nature to the chaos of cities, from calm meditation to vivid events, from spending weekends in bed to whirring days without sleep.
And surely they would say that I am constantly smiling - but there is always a little blue star in my soul. Once in a while it will call for attention.
PHILOSOPHY
Surrender to the universal energy and it will take care of your needs.
Explore what is within and make it become part of what is without!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well, when I will finish my nomadic life (though I do not know when) my couch or whatever will be available for everyone! For now, I am spreading the idea of couchsurfing during my journey to encourage people to take the "risk" of travelling.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have already hosted many people and was a guest in many houses before I became a member here. However, I want to participate officially now because I'd like to be available for a wider range of people!
Interests
The diversity of life - I want to nose as many flowers as I can to leave the earth holding a giant colourful bouquet in my soul.
However, the most interesting flowers are the perception of people, the mutability of senses, the athmosphere of places, the mirror of nature, the spirit of the elements, the creativity of actions, the constitution of faith, the trails of notions, the energy of music, the dissipation of feelings, the ease of sufficency, the charm of words, the words behind eyes, the vividness of dreams, the dreams behind lies, the destruction of boundaries, the games of society, the understanding of my mind, the limits of freedom, the honesty of mistakes, the peace of soleness, the gravity of people, the growing of plants, the variety of species, and all the details of the-in-between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
* I opened my discrete heart for the adventurous journey into love and affection.
* My newborn nephew Alexander - it is an intangible joy to see him growing up.
* Looking into the endless universe and feeling the deep understanding of being in safe hands.
* A sacrificial ritual on the Philippines - in order to get access to the mountain where I conducted my field research for my diploma thesis, I had to offer betel nuts, red and white cloth, alcohol and three native chicken. Prayers were murmured. Chickenblood all over. And my first betel.
* The first scuba dive I did! Everytime I enter this sphere now, which is so incredibly different from ours on land, it feels like coming home.
* Cycling for days through an almost deserted steppe to reach a vast salt lake - only for the moment to watch thousands of flamingos flapping away.
* Completed a 10-day Vipassana meditation course.
* Travelled from Germany to India overland.
