About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and explore as much of this world as I possibly can - Geographically, Socially, Emotionally... Constantly evolving with every new discovery. "A mind that has been stretched will never return to its original dimension"

ABOUT ME

I am permanently falling in love. With people, places, art and music. Especially music...
I love meeting new people and creating memorable moments with them. I try my utmost to always be fair and honest and true to people. Compassion and appreciation is key in my world, which means I notice the slightest gesture of kindness, and thus I tend to always be happy. :)
Ignorance annoys me, as does judgemental and negative people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everything comes from the same matter and that we are not here for a SPECIFIC purpose, but that we are LUCKY to be here. We have to use every single opportunity we get to do good unto others and good unto mother earth, our beautiful, loving, forgiving spaceship. Fuck war and fuck evil. Good will prevail, and knowledge will get us there. <3

Music, Movies, and Books

I love comedies and action movies.
My favourite books are River God, by Wilbur Smith and The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho.
Music, the language of the soul - I like it all. Everything. Blues and deep house being my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a 5000km solo trip through Vietnam, wild camping in my hammock along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

The absolute worst thing that you can accept into your life is regret. Regret means you have doubt in yourself, and you should never, EVER, doubt yourself. You are on a constant learning path and even though you will make mistakes, it is YOUR mistake, and YOUR road to growth and if you didn't make mistakes, you would not be the amazing person you are today or going to be tomorrow. Be PROUD.
We are one.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My vibrant personality, always-positive outlook, love, generosity, and my mad cooking skills. I've got very good manners as well, and keep to myself when necessary.
Let's share a bottle of wine and explore the depths of our insecurities, wishes, fears and achievements. Or we could just giggle til the sun rises. Either way, I'm game.
