About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To listen. Can be hard sometimes.

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Darmstadt,Germany. I am an anthropologist, and cultural scientist working as a facilitator and consultant. I believe in the powers of diversity which are sometimes beautiful and at other times very uncomfortable.

I try to improve listening to others and to decrease judgement. Sometimes it is just enough to listen, and to respond but it's not necessary to value things or persons in terms of good and bad. Listening can train this ability according to my experiences, and that's what I try when I meet other people.

PHILOSOPHY

learn how to forgive, to get rid of pride and guilt! Make your own experience.

just listen

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I mostly joined CS events and meetings, because it was not possible to host people at places where I lived before. That however changed now, and I'm highly interested in sharing what is possible to share.
