I am a very open-minded person that is constantly looking for new ideas and inspirations on how to make the world a better place. I'm very environmentally conscious and care a lot about nature and the preservation of our Mother Earth.
Because I'm always looking for new inputs I am ever changing and my friends know me for being this person that is very enthusiastic about something very quickly, only to change my opinion again every couple of weeks, or sometimes days. I'm personally very happy about my ability to let go of old ideas and adjust to new ones though since that enables me to experience constant self-growth, which is a very big part of my life.
One thing that hasn't changed since 2012, and will always be a constant in my life, is my vegan way of living. My main motivation to go vegan back then was my awareness of the animal suffering that is involved in the production of meat, dairy, eggs, fish and other so-called animal foods. I'm still very passionate about spreading awareness not only about the animals' condition, but the affects certain foods have on people's health and the planet as a whole.

My journey to bettering the world lead me to learn about our current system that so many of us feel trapped in. I recently came to the conclusion that I want to advocate for a moneyless world and am actively trying to become the example that such a world is possible by relying less and less on money. (Side note: This is the reason why I'm not getting verified on Couchsurfing, since I want to use as little money as possible in all aspects of my life. I hope you understand (: )

So my goal for the coming years is to travel, as moneyless as possible, all around the world, and spent lots of time in Nature, hopefully learning about self-sustainability and vegan permaculture. I'm open for whatever comes my way since for me, there is no time restriction and with the right mindset and motivation, I won't have financial problems either (:

When I'm ready to settle down somewhere (if ever?) I know I will want to live somewhere in Nature, preferably in a warm climate, and establish an off-grid, self-sustainable way of living in perfect alignment with what the planet has to offer, hopefully with the most wonderful people I've found on my journey that share the same values and want to live a peaceful, harmonious and meaningful life just like me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very interested in low-budget/moneyless traveling and I absolutely love connecting with people, getting to know different perspectives on life and gaining new inspirations. I liked the idea of sleeping on another person's couch instead of in a hotel from the start but I constantly got told that it'd be too dangerous, especially for me as woman. Hopefully though this website makes it safer for me and everyone else (:

Interests

My interests are very diverse and constantly growing as I go about my journey.
Currently, I'm very interested in learning about our current society and what's going on in our world, and more so learning about alternative ways of living and finding solutions to problems we might be facing on both a global and individual level.
Apart from what I've already mentioned in the About Me section, I am a minimalist that loves cuddling, making jewelery and other things mainly out of hemp (crafting useful things in general), practicing naturism, caring for and spending time with non-human animals, looking into various spiritual practices and learning new things and skills, which will hopefully soon include how to grow and care for plants, build your own house and cure yourself with herbs and other natural remedies.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I try not to listen to (too much) mainstream/low-frequency music anymore but focus on meditation and classical music.
If I do indulge into other music, mainly while tidying up, I usually listen to something like Glass Animals or Alt-J, and the occasional Justin Bieber.

Even though I love reading, unfortunately I usually don't give myself enough time for it.
If I do read I never really turn to novels but prefer educational books about nutrition, spirituality, meditation, self-development and alternative ways of living and shaping our society.

I used to be one of those wannabe-movie junkies. However, I now feel like there are better ways to spend my time rather than filling my head with fictional stories and staring at a screen.
If I do watch something it's usually a documentary or an informational video on Youtube.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going vegan (:

Teach, Learn, Share

In terms of languages, I could try to teach you German and English.
If you're interested in the vegan lifestyle, I will gladly share my vegan cooking skills (I'm definitely not a chef though), the philosophy behind Veganism and how to act according to your values in your every day life (:
I'm also quite knowledgeable in the field of nutrition and disease-prevention.

I'm constantly expanding my knowledge about the system we are currently living in, actively trying to find solutions or alternatives. Therefore I'd be very happy to share whatever I found to work better and exchanging inputs so we can grow together and help each other work towards a happy and sustainable future for all of us!
I can also try and help you to live more in the present moment, as I'm constantly working on that skill myself and since I know that I'm not the only one struggling, I'd be more than happy to share my experiences on bettering the relationship to your own body and developing self-love.

I'm also a very good listener, and sometimes that's all someone needs (:

I myself am interested in learning every language you're capable of teaching and about all kinds of different cultures and traditions. I'm open for pretty much all skills you might be able to pass onto me.
Don't worry if you feel like you have nothing to share. First of all, you most definitely do (:
Secondly, I know that there's something to be learned from every conversation so I'll be more than happy to hear about your perspectives on life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can most definitely share infinite good vibes, love, hugs, open ears and an open mind (: I'm also very happy to share the workload you might face at home as well, of course!
A stated above, I will gladly do my best at teaching you whatever knowledge and skills I've acquired on my journey so far and might be of interest to you (:
