Overview
About Me
Eight years ago I left home and gradually fell in love with a nomadic way of life. I have since traveled and lived in Europe, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Northern Africa and Central/South America and am still discovering our beautiful planet, mostly by hitchhiking, van living, cycling, housesitting, staying with locals, volunteering and teaching yoga and languages. I am wandering around simply and mindfully focusing on living in the moment, enjoying the beauty of being and becoming and connecting with nature and likeminded humans. I'm addicted to new experiences and living life out of the comfort zone.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
There's nothing that makes you grow more than traveling and connecting with wonderful people.

Nature adventures, hikes off the beaten path, climbing mountains and swimming in oceans, holistic health, yoga and meditation, ice baths, music and ecstatic dances, hitchhiking, minimalism, languages and literature, philosophy and psychology, self development, community, alternative ways of living, cuddling every animal that crosses my way, exploring new places with new friends, those conversations where you start at one topic and, without even knowing it, you're on another,..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiked in the Alps and the Andes, worked with plant medicine in the Amazon, slept under the starry sky of the Sahara, spent a winter in the Arctic under the Northern Lights and a rainy spring in Patagonia, lived in a tree house in the jungle, climbed an active volcano, taught in a meditation center in Myanmar, in a Hmong village in the mountains of Vietnam and a Maya school in Guatemala, worked for an animal rescue center in the Australian outback, survived New Zealand's second biggest earthquake, hitchhiked on 6 continents including a sailboat, lived in a van in Portugal and Spain and cycled along the North Sea.
Fell in love with life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my experience with traveling on a super small to no budget and everything else I learned while on the road and teach you German or English. Also happy to share yoga, meditation and breathwork.
I'm interested in learning more about permaculture and sustainable ways of living and practicing my Spanish.
