„Once upon a time, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten: that the world is meant to be celebrated.“

Hello! I‘m Vica, and I like to say that I go through life blurring the lines between the mundane and the sacred. That means I see everything as sacred, the pain just as much as the joy.

My interests in a nutshell: dance, writing, ayurveda, neuroscience, literature, painting, yoga, herbalism, classic movies, good music, consciousness

but most of ALL I love snow, the moon and stargazing for hours🪽

While I believe this experience is based on mutual trust, I think it’s a privilege that hosts are inviting us in their safe space, therefore I do not take it for granted and always like to prepare dinner or breakfast :)

I just gave up my apartment and will move countries during this year, once I settled I am able to host again!
