About Me

current mission:
dreams, daring and exploring. rebuilding my trailer in estonia, starting painting and guitar once again, most of the time engaging for degrowth, climate justice and food sovereignty, always trying to find more balance within and without:)

about me:
hungry and foolish

***

The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room.
(waking life)

"[...] The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require explanation - just occupance. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8 pack, you may get the 16 pack but it's all in what you do with the crayons - the colors - that you're given. Don't worry about coloring within the lines or coloring outside the lines - I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color all over the page; don't box me in! We're in motion to the ocean. We are not land locked, I'll tell you that.[...]" (waking life)

lessons learned: grow through the life, not go through the life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
