ABOUT ME

What to say about me???

I worked 18 years as a secretary before I was -finally- brave enough to leave everything behind me, my job, my home, my friends.
I was tired of going just for a 3-week-holiday to somewhere. I wanted to be free.....

I travelled 20 months with my van and discovered an other life :)
I freed myself from the ridiculous things I've learned in school or what my parents and the society told me/expected me: if you want to have a fullfilled life you need a huge house, an expansive big car, always enough money - and you should make career. ha ha, for what?

What's nicer than being in nature in harmony with everything around you, sitting by the fire, drinking tasty tea or coffee, being free.... what more do we need than health, happieness and trust in the universe?!

Since this trip in 2008 I am not able to go back to my old life ;-)

I travelled more, walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain and Portugal, settled for 3 years in Germany and worked in an organic bakery (because I needed money for 5 operations for my dog) , travelled again....

Right now I am in Germany, but as I live in my van I cannot offer a couch or host anybody. Sorry, but my van is too small....

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dream your life,
live your dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. (St. Augustine)

Tourists don't know where they've been; travelers don't know where they're going. (Paul Theroux)

Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery,
but today is a gift;
that's why it's called the present!

Interests

traveling, reading, music (unfortunately I don't play any instrument), going for walks, dogs - exspecially my dog Masha, sleeping outside beneath the stars, sitting by a fire, good chills, sometimes drinking one or two ;-) beer or wine, VW Bus, camping, Rainbow Gatherings ........

I like to drink some beer and wine somewhere, of course!
Till I was 35 years old I went to many Trance Partys and Festivals! Now I'm a bit more quite and like also to stay at home with friends, having good chats, laughters and fun !

And I like Rainbow Gatherings a lot......
