About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting out of my loved city into the wild countryside of Brandenburg. It time to get into the unknown, meditate and long walks in nature. FINDING a community and my trailor!

ABOUT ME

*** I am (a little) chaotic, clumsy, crazy(in a good way), caring woman. I am living live true to my heart and soul.... not the life of others, what occurs to be easy and difficult at the same time.I don't feel like judging others for what they choose as a life's journey,as I believe there is not the one right road of life and especially not the same for everyone.
What we call a mistake in my opinion is nothing less than an experience not less importand than others.

PHILOSOPHY

Why rushing or living the life of others? Can you buy back hours of your life? If yes, write me!

.... be patient with yourself and others.

Darkness is part of nature as much as light.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing (beginner/ well... through the couch surfing page)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch-Surfing is not about a cheap way of traveling(at least not for me) though there might be some who do it for this one reason.

Couch surfing is giving me a unique experience, beyond the "supermarket way" of traveling.
It is like seeing friends that I haven't meet before.
I have spent days in a single room apartment with people hosting me.
Friends do this.....and couch surfers <3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

to love
