I love our world with all its beings and I'm curious about what is beyond external appereance.

Some quotations I really like

In a world full of people who couldn't care less be someone who couldn't care more.

There is no way to happiness
Happiness is the way

Ich bin Leben, das leben will, inmitten von Leben, das leben will.
- Albert Schweitzer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, feeling the atmosphere of foreign places, different languages, colours and lifestyles. Sometimes I'm able to make a long distance journey and sometimes it can be exciting to discover an unknown place in the town I live.
I'm very curious and like new experiences.
I think every person we meet is a mirror of ourselves so that we can learn a lot about what is inside us while spending time with others.

Music: "... Et demain on fera quoi?
On recommencera
l’homme est comme ça
Et demain ça sera nous
les maîtres du jeu un point c’est tout
S’aimer encore, danser encore
Sourire encore, s’embrasser plus fort
Pleurer encore, souffrir encore
Et tenir encore mais chanter plus fort
Lalalalalalal lalalalala
Ça fait du bien
Lalalalalalala lalalalalla
S’aimer encore, danser encore
Sourire encore, s’embrasser plus fort
Pleurer encore, souffrir encore
Et tenir encore mais chanter plus fort

Et tenir encore mais chanter plus fort

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think there are two very important things in my life to write about. There is my daughter's birth on a christmas day and when I became a vegan. Both brought so much positive energy to my life and changed nearly everything. Today I feel so much more connected to all beings and to myself than ever before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share my experiences meaning nearly every part of life and what I'm thinking life is about. But you can't talk about that with a hungry stomach, so I' m inviting everyone to celebrate vegan food with me.
I'm fascinated by the skill of playing an instrument. As a child I played a keyboard a bit and one day I would like to learn perhaps one of two of my most beloved music instruments. Piano or violine.
