German psychologist and world traveller. Just quit my job and room in the Netherlands and will be travelling for a while. My most important values are freedom, connection and peace. Passionate about spirituality, nature, dancing, and of course travelling!

La vida es un aprendizaje

True happiness is the absence of the search for happiness

Balancing between ‘Be. Here. Now.’ and dancing through life, serving the world and enjoying life, flying and grounding remains my biggest challenge✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I love sharing inspiration with like-minded locals or travellers and experience places from their perspective. I’ve had great experiences using couchsurfing in Australia and Spain. For me it's the best way to travel! Whenever and wherever I have a home base I‘m happy to welcome people there, too, of course.
