About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You must be the change you wish to see in the world

ABOUT ME

I like to think of my self as some sort of explorer, I think i would say my favorite thing in the world is travelling I just love that feeling of everything being completely different, and you are the lucky person who get's to experience it.
I think of myself as having a very good sense of humor, at least I spend a lot of my time laughing, have lots of energy so I am often out there doing something fun like taking a yoga class, or having a bike around the city, I am spontaneous, love been busy with bodywork, is also what I do for a living I am a yoga teacher and work as a massage therapist so I am often making use of my friends for trying new knowledge which comes my way.For the past few years been very busy with nutrition and natural medicine so I love preparing meals and going to the organic market to find all the fresh ingredients and I am always up for an exchange of information in favorite meal, ingredients and why :)
I love anything that grows, so working in the garden or being outdoors are by far my favorites things to share with friends.
For a while I was busy with Vj ing, visually rich art inspires me, going out for a dance is one of the most fun things to do, my childhood was dedicated to classical ballet, dance and movement is always been a very important part in my life.


PHILOSOPHY

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams

Portishead, Radiohead, Coco Rosie,Manu Chau, Gregory and the hawk, Sati, Eddie Vedder, Massive Attack, Sigur Ros, Air, Jose Gonzales,Calle 13 , Beats Antique, Beirut.
Books ....each one of then is a world that your imagination opens and I love reading, as much as I love letting my imagination fly ... At the moment really busy with magical realism and spiritual books of all sorts ....crazy about Haruki Murakami and I am always reading something about natural, alternative medicine .
Movies .... AS long as they are not horror or super stupid comedies ..enjoy watching then, I have a preference in art house and foreign movies and i can spend many hours watching documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to live the 5th biggest earthquake in the history of human kind, while I was in Chile in 2010,I was living on a farm 40 km form the epicenter, it was on the last day of my Permaculture course, the earth started shaking at 3:03 am, Hearing the earth roar on a full moon while camping in the woods, gave me a total sense of awe....it was very scary but at the same time, it gave me this wonderful feeling of connection and humbleness at the incredible power it lies dormant in our planet.It was a total of almost 2 min and probably the most adrenaline I ever experienced .

The other most amazing moment of my life occur while been a participant of a 10 day meditation retreat in silence, you get about 10 hours a day of sitting and just contemplating your breath ( that is endlessly just trying to do it ) and for the first couple of days I was about to go crazy but then from one moment to another while i was sitting looking at this huge mountain somewhere in India I experience a few moments of total clarity of peace, I discover a way of looking at the world that i would never forget, everything gave me a feeling of being meaningful, intense beauty irradiating of everything and a deep sense of peace in the silence ..... that gave me a whole new perspective in life ...... beauty is in the eye of the beholder .

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach yoga classes, love playing around with acrobatics, acroyoga or just have fun riding a bike with a friend .
Love learning anything new, always open for new challenges.
Sharing ..well there is lots of that happening all the time...sharing my space, my knowledge, my likes and dislikes, hopes and views in the world.
