Еnergetic, motivated and inspired to make my own reality, usually smiling.
I haven't been travelling much recently (or accepting guests) because all my free time, energy and resources have been going to building a house in the countryside, nearby my home city. I've been trying to escape city life for a while now but it has proven quite a challenge. Once I'm done with the house, my dream is to turn the 3000 sq-meter yard into a low-cost outdoor center for free (as in unguided) play - kids and adult equally welcome, we all need play! :D The main idea is to get them city kids away from phones and tablets, into the forest, the field, on the swing, on the trees.
For living I do research (social, as in almost anything related to people and society) and I work with kids, all on free-lance basis.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

music - psy-trance for partying, chillout / ambient when relaxing at home, 60s-70s classics when nostalgic, classical (especially Bach!!) when in a dramatic mood, ethnic (e.g. Indian, Persian) for yoga... and the list goes on
movies - dramas, the more crying involved the better; drama can nicely mix with comedy (eg Kusturica movies); also documentaries about nature and society
books - my tastes keeps chaning, Terry Pratchet and John Steinbeck are all-time favourites, so is Bill Bryson's Short history of nearly everything; recently I've been enjoying books which help me delve into other cultures, eg. Khaled Hosseini, Elif Shafak; mostly busy with academic literature nowadays

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

650km mountain hike

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm not sure I have any special skills, tho I do have

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

nice company, some optimism, stories from my trips to civilized an wild destinations, insight into psychological and social processes, though also a keen listener; in all cases - very open, sincere and direct communication with all its pros and cons

I have been doing yoga for quite a while and have some experience as a teacher, so I would love to share what I know

There is some knowledge on natural remedies I could share, including every-day cleansing practices
and super-healthy no cooked fat vegan foods and recipes, which most people aren't particularly keen on (remanants from my ultra healthy late 20s)
