  • Description

    Mhm who am I? Well, that's a good question. I guess I am quite much like you. The only difference lies in what we are spending our time with. Me I really enjoy cooking. It gives me great pleasure finding new ways to prepare veggies. Food is such an incredible magic thing to me. How a tiny little seed can grow into all kinds of nutritious colorful shapes only with the help of sun and water; and how each and everyone of these shapes come with free new shapes inside of them. It's crazy how we still have millions of people starving on this planet although mother earth thought of everything.

    I appreciate these wonderful gifts and treat them with as much greatfulness as possible by saving food scraps to make soup powder, drying all kinds of stuff for making my own tea creations (yes you can put carrot in a tea, it's actually quite nice), collecting seeds and make something out of them (pumpkin to eat, lemon for headaches etc.) and generally find ways to fuse consumption with awareness and joy. I just love it.

    Furthermore I am interested in zero waste and sustainability in general (including our social environment).

    Short facts: Hands on mentality, dirty work or love to detail, silly jokes or deep conversations- I got it all :) I am excited to learn new skills and to share the ones I already have. I love loosing myself in a task, connecting to it as if it were my baby, which I approach with a curious and humble mindset. I enjoy working in a team but am also content with my own company. Let's create something together, shall we? :)

  • More details about your skills

    Being creative with resources that are available bring great joy to me. Every choice we make is a political one as it is bound to other choices that we might not see if one was to only observe the surface. Responsible usage of resources and consumption of all kinds is what I have my focus on and gain more awareness on every day.

    Past projects/skills:
    I have laid tiles, worked with wood and used all kinds of machines; built in a window once; layed flooring on a terrace; all kinds of drilling/ putting things up/apart- where's a will there's a way. I am by no means a professional but a fast learner, stronger than I look (often heard this one- does everyone who is strong also look that way I wonder,..) and eager to solve issues. I grew up in a do-it-yourself household, it's normal for me to just do "it" whatever it is.

    I love nature and all kinds of garden work. Learning about permaculture and the ways of nature would be awesome. Animals are my buddies, I love them all. From tiny insect to big, hairy stinky mammals- they all have a place in my heart. I actually had dogs and worked in a shelter for a bit. Other than that I have a degree in fashion and arts- painting, drawing, sewing is on my menu too.

    35

  • What else ...

    I meditate and love reading. Hiking, being in nature and exploring the world with a curious mindset is the melody I dance to.

    The dog on the picture isn't mine. We both simply look fabulous and I thought the world should know.

    I am currently traveling Europe with the Van I've transformed into a tiny bedroom this spring.

    What currently excites me:

    Practicing being my authentic self with courage and joy. Feeling more connected to myself and therefor more to others.

    The idea of learning on site about Earthships/sustainable/ self-sufficient/ healing living possibilities

    Learning how to play the guitar after procrastinating and dreaming about it all my life.

    Finding and trying out solutions on how to co-exist and co-create in a sustainable (ecological, social) way.

    Building bridges between black and white concepts.
