CURRENT MISSION

becoming a ninja, searching for life's meaning

ABOUT ME

open minded, vegan, interested, good listener, a little bit nervous when it comes to talking to strangers, concerts, curious, interested in languages.
i like tea, I'm an animal lover, and I like movement-
I do parkour, long walks/hikes and night runs; bit of capoeira and flowing around.
always up for some spontaneous action shit, drinking games, beer. roofing

All of the strange music is what i'm really fond of, especially grindcore and posthard-core, hc punk, world music, balkan, some deep medi dub, banjo folk, angry feminist punk, crust, anything that fits inbetween, fast or slow... - but i am totally up to new stuff - because in the right mood with the right people i would also party the whole night to thrashpop :)

I am a super-visual kind of perciever when it comes to new places where there is a lot of information - so totally overwhelmed by that, that's why i always get lost in nice cities, so rather i am a quiet observer when it comes to cities, i am a photographer and i love light and nature.

-- Live with kindness to all creatures. Animals can speak for themselves, we just don't listen. There's no excuse for animal use.

i care for any living being, and besides my current mission to get a ninja and dealing with the stuff you have to do in life I wanna be the part that is making you happy and comfortable when i stay at your place - perhaps also a mission :D
to redefine or overthink some terms an patters everyone has learned and to pe openminded and understanding can change so much to the good, i wanna give my experience and thoughs about life to you/someone, who also wants to share theirs

-- Trade your expectations for appreciation and your whole world changes in an instant.
-Tony Robbins

-- If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.
-Osho

my pronoun is they/them.

Music, Movies, and Books

i like edgar allen poe and roald dahl, short stories and novels, tc boyle is great, lolita, tolkien, harry potter of course.i can't really tell what my favourite movies are. they have to be visually challenging at least - what comes to my mind is the grand budapest hotel, requiem for a dream, strange drug documentaries and arthouse stuff

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

backpacking in sweden for 3 weeks, camping in train stations and at bergen's local recreation area, walked up mountains in myrdal, urban exploration,getting over fears everytime i train, found out that nothing is as bad as it seems, getting to know amazingly nice people, squatted houses
