CURRENT MISSION
Traveling with Juri in Thailand until mid-March 2019

Liberating myself from false beliefs, meditating

ABOUT ME

I am an optimistic and happy person who finds it easy to connect to other people. I like being on the move although I also like being at home. Then again, I feel easily at home in any place I like. I am not interested in accumulating material wealth, but in doing something that makes sense to me. Like making somebody smile - or helping others to get rid of false beliefs. It is important to challenge one's comfort zone

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful, and every moment is perfect - although we sometimes find it hard to see it.
May all beings be happy and peaceful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is just great to meet interesting people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have often had couch surfers in my shared house in Berlin and I met lovely people through this. While I was traveling in South America and I had many amazing hosts and met a lot of great people. Thanks so much to all of you!!!

Interests

Quit my job in Berlin in summer 2011 to dedicate myself to traveling - seeing the world with my own eyes and meeting people. I am very interested in people´s opinions and how they see/live life in general. I love languages and exploring different cultures. Above all however, traveling always happens within oneself, no matter where you go.
Music is of special importance to me (although I don´t make any myself) and I enjoy music festivals very much :)
The environment and what we are doing to mother earth concerns me a lot. I also do yoga and vipassana mediation

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of Pedro Almodovar and surrealist cinema; arthouseype movies that make you think
I like most kinds of music - especially electronic music, psy trance, Flamenco, Ska, Cumbia
"What I loved" by Siri Hustevedt impressed me very much - I also adore the wrtings of Paul Coelho;
Miguel Ruiz: The 5 Agreements - one of the most inspiring books I have ever read; so much truth in it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That people are kind and willing to support you - even complete strangers, just to be nice.

Having seen the sun rise and set in the Alpujarra, Andalucia (Spain) - one of the most beautiful places on earth

Teach, Learn, Share

I love language exchange and really enjoy learning from/teaching others. I am very interested in discussions about social and political issues. In order to help changing the world we need to change our inner world first - thus sharing spirituality
