Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find focus and find this crazy thing that I am looking for....
ABOUT ME
Wow, the past year some things have changed and now I am setting off on a quest, a mission to find something thats missing from my life, whatever that is! If I meet YOU, I think it will help me along my journey to finding this mysterious thing! People tell me im crazy...I think they are right ;D I think everything happens for a reason.
Im interested in the squatting culture around the world, learning about politics and alternative ways of living and living in communities. Very interested in Eastern Europe.
I love to be inspired by people, when you meet inspirational people it can make you think, change your views and way of doing things forever. I love meeting people from different countries/cultures and learning about their way of life.
I am against capitalism and globalisation because of the damage it is doing on the environment and just by how fucked up the whole system we live in really is. I have lived often like a freegan not spending or needing much money at all! I love this way of life it makes you realise what pointless things people spend money on. A simple life is a happy life :) Although I do often over complicate things for myself! I learnt a lot from living here in this colourfully painted anarchic/feminist ex squat house in the best part of Berlin! http://liebig34.blogsport.de/
I like to go raving and partying :D
I am a laid back sort of person generally and Ive got a mad sense of humour often getting excited about something really stupid, yes you can laugh at me I do all the time :P I like to think I am a bit different? I want to go everywhere and do everything!!
I care about the environment and like being outside working with horses or on farms. I love horses and have been horseriding since the age of 10, I play the piano and trombone a little. Im interested in conservation work and Id like to go back to South America and travel everywhere there and learn Spanish!
I am a trusting and honest person with the most respect for anyone from anywhere. I am not particularly religious but I am interested in world religions and would be happy to participate in religious activities if given the opportunity.
PHILOSOPHY
" I could be rich like a wandering gypsy, I could be poor like a fat wallet lost"
"The best things in life arn't things"
"Good friends are like stars; you may not always see them, but you know they are always there."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
The Project Volunteering house in Berlin I lived in; we hosted couchsurfers every night and had a whole load of workshops going on every day. Crazy times :D Heres a funny little film from the project that my housemates made!

Meeting many couchsurfers in Berlin and wherever I go travelling to!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing hooked me up with a crazy project house which I moved into in Berlin and lived there for 6 months. There we hosted couchsurfers from all different places. I was inspired so much from all the different people I lived with and the couchsurfers we met. Amazing times.
Hitch hiking through Eastern Europe and meeting wonderful couchsurfers where I ended up :D

Music, Movies, and Books
If I ever watch TV it would be programmes about travelling and history, sociology or war.
I love so much music; my favourite at the moment is modern day music and folk music from Poland and Eastern Europe. I love world music especially traditional music from each country. But also-very loud techno in Berlin clubs(!!)dance/trance/house, drum and bass. I like Indian and Arabian pop/romantic music.
I think my favourite book is an atlas of the world as I like studying that. I love photography books with interesting photographs from all over the world and nature books too. George Orwell, Micheal Palin.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 18 I accidently found the website "help-exchange" whilst searching for a job with horses, I ended up getting invited to a random farm in Italy, terrified of what could happen.....BUT I knew that if I was brave and did it, it might change me forever...And I did it, I went and Ive never looked back. It changed my views of trust and travelling forever. I was opened up to a whole new world..an underground of amazing trustworthy people willing to give me a chance to join them!!! Thank God I stumbled upon that website...and then through that I found Couchsurfing and a whole new community of good friends :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn about the lives of other people in their own countries, the history of the area/country, politics and working on farms especially with horses ;)
I can spread ideas and ways of thinking, new ideas on ways of consumerism and wastage. I can teach English or German. I can teach some ecological ideas and biology. I could teach you how to horse ride if you have a horse he he ;D
