"People have the power to redeem the work of fools!" To begin with a quote from Patricia Smith that states all of my motivation to be a part of the change the world needs to see. My name is Anna Maria and I am looking forward to traveling the world while supporting people who establish great projects (eco, health & art) in their operative and strategic work. My personal aim for the next years are, to do a little better each day for myself and the beautiful earth we are living in. I do love healthy food (vegetarian/vegan), to do sports (jogging, swimming and would love to learn surfing) and my personal days are best surrounded by Yoga and Meditation. 


I am very pleasant although I exactly know what I like and do not like. I love being outside, breathing in fresh air most of the day as well as staying inside to enjoy a cosy time. "I am open to everything and attached to nothing" - this may describe my personality pretty well. I am very willing to get new insides and to expand my comfort zone each day. Also I do need time to create my personal projects which are creating a blog, writing a book and living a healthy life in every way possible! I do love music, art, nature, reading, animals and mostly the different. So I like to describe myself as an upcoming artist who just started creating the new life I was always wanted. I am looking for inspiring people who live a healthy, joyful and peaceful life with themselves and all the surroundings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took 3 homeless people into my apartment in Berlin. A guy from New Zealand watched me while inviting them and had been so touched about that he said: "You have to come to New Zealand". Now, I am here and started my travel. Let's see where the journey brings me to.

Teach, Learn, Share

If nothing is sure, everything is possible!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I created a "Love, Passion & Life Advice-Interview" that I like to put into practice with inspiring people which meet during my travels. One day I will make a book out of it. Wanna be part of it? Share with me your vision of love, passion & life and let us be part of the change! In case you don't want to be interviewed that's totally fine as well.
