Description

I'm a 28 year old human from the beautiful but sometimes boring city of Vienna in Austria. Originally I've studied International Business Administration but in recent years I've become much more interested in developing on a personal level and exploring the world than in pursuing any type of career. My interests mostly revolve around plants & permaculture, healthy and ecological nutrition, meditation, psychotherapy and other things.

I'm just at the end of a long phase of travelling. For almost 1,5 years I travelled through the Canary Islands, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Kuwait, Nepal, India and Sri Lanka. End of May I'm returning back to Vienna/Austria and I'm planning to do some volunteering first before throwing myself all the way back into the working world. I honestly don't know where I'm going with my life at the moment and there are lots of open questions. And that's okay - I believe that being lost can be a very valuable part of one's personal development. Being lost and confused teaches you to tune into yourself and feel more and more deeply what it is that you actually want. What it is that is missing...
And only once you realize this clearly can you take the steps to go where you want to be. And in the end, probably we don't need to be anywhere anyway. If we just are purely who we are that's all that matters :)
I try my best to see the world with loving and curious eyes each and every day. And every day I'm learning more about what I need to stay balanced, how to express myself, how to set boundaries and about the cultures and lifestyles of people in other countries. I also do Vipassana meditation twice a day, which helps me a lot with these things.

At any places where I can do meaningful work, meet open-minded people and live healthily I will happily stay :)
