About Me

Always happy to meet new people, share a meal or a story and help travelers (or anyone for that matter), just drop me a line! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"The wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown." - Paul Theroux

"To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure." -Freya Stark

"Als Körper ist jeder Mensch eins, als Seele nie. "- Hermann Hesse

"I like dogs better than men
and cats better than dogs
and myself best of all,
drunk and in my underwear,
looking out the window."
-Charles Bukowski

'Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.'
-Oscar Wilde

'L'homme ne peut se transformer sans souffrances, car il est à la fois le sculpteur et le marbre.' -Alexis Carrell

“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
-Charles Bukowski

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong."
-Mandy Hale

Interests

I love concerts, good books&movies, cooking, listening to music, visiting animal shelters, travelling, yoga, diving, meeting new people, dancing (but not the really fancy way. I'm probably an awful dancer, but I really enjoy it), swimming,...
