About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my love about nature and traditional cultures

ABOUT ME

Living simple, sustainable. Enjoying being green, creative, chill out, slow...
I recently found out that my spirit animal might be the camel. It has the meaning of a long journey and overcoming obstacles. I might be dreamy sometimes, but I am very driven and really have a strong feeling for the Path that I should follow.

I used to hitchhike a lot, then my motto was "Hichhikers never die!" I have not done this for a while now, but I still consider myself having an adventurous spirit.

PHILOSOPHY

The imagination is more important than knowledge. (Einstein)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Csilla (Szeget) - so much fun, that we decided to stay one more night at here place! Brilliant first experience!

Chris (near Cannes) - like a second mother to me on the Easter Sunday/Monday!

Six weeks in Colombia - that is when I found the cultural benefits of the community.

Made many good friends in Karlsruhe, when I was going to the regular Couchsurfing meetings in the city, where I studied.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the Black Sea, alone on a ferry from Georgia to Bulgaria. It was an amazing trip where I felt even more deeply in love with the Black Sea.

Lived for two months and made field research with the indigenous people of Canaima National Park / Gran Sabana, Venezuela

Spent 9 month in South America - 6 of them as an exchange student at the University Simon Bolivar, Caracas and 3 travelling around through Venezuela and Colombia.

Six weeks only Couchsurfing in Colombia. How this couldn't be amazing?!

Hiked in the Andes and slept in a tent 4 nights in the high lands (Páramo)at -2°C.

hitch-hiking a lot all over Europe, three times from Germany to Bulgaria (aprox. 2000 km), have slept in a truck, often at open air;

On the Balkan Brass Battle between Boban Markovic Orchestra and Fanfare Ciocarlia I've been pleased twice by the bands to go on the stage, because of our wild dancing just in front of the stage :)
