ABOUT ME

Young Homo sapiens with a passion for conservation biology, currently working in environmental education, finding out about life and love.. Love to travel and to explore. Love forests, people and the sea. Love to spend time alone too. Love to read philosophical and scientific literature. Always open to get inspired, dream and share. Love guitar music and riding my bike. For what is most precious for me at the moment:
~more and more I'm able to tap that deep feeling of gratefulness for all that LIFE is offering from moment to moment to moment~
even though it is hard practice at times - I'm learning! :)

PHILOSOPHY

My heart is my home.
Live and let live.

“I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.”
- Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet -

"Look into this- it is important.
because peace will only be our future if we manifest it-
therefore starting first and formost- with ourselves."
- J. Krishnamurti - ??!! (Ahhh- I did not put it down!)

"Love is the absence of judgement."
- Dalai Lama, XIV -

“When the heart is right, "for" and "against" are forgotten.”
- Zhuangzi, The way of Chuang Tzu -

“I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.”
- Fernando Pessoa -
