About Me

Life has its secret ways. From quaint Luxembourg, it has brought me to Canada, from the metropolis to the prairies and to the Arctic. I travel whenever I can, wherever I can, to shake up the routine, to infuse life with new energy and to develop understanding, tolerance, and open-mindedness.

I care deeply about animal welfare, the environment, peace, and social equality. I'm always looking for ways to give, to work towards something larger than myself and to make the world a better place.

I believe that true change comes from within. When you change, the world changes with you. Yoga shows the way.

I'm currently traveling through India, to lose myself, to rewire my brain and to look for inspiration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I value experiences over money, sharing over owning, change over routine and risk over complacency.

Interests

When something allows me to be fully absorbed, completely in the present moment, feeling and exploring, then it catches my interest. When I discover a new passion, I dive in deeply. Whether it’s foreign languages, cooking, photography, scuba diving or musical instruments, I like wandering in unknown worlds and getting lost.
