Description

Hey to all the people who may cross my path,

I’m Mana, now 25 years old. Time is passing, and I’m just updating the profile I started when I was 20. Back then I wrote:
“My dream is to travel the world, learn more and more about the world, people, and myself. To live a simpler and more sustainable life, to get to know different cultures, join projects, help, and spread joy and love. I try to always look at the world with understanding and love and dream of a world where people, animals, and nature live in peace and harmony.”

I would say my dream hasn’t changed much. Maybe now I have a clearer sense of what it could mean and how it might look. Sometimes I forgot that dream and then remembered it again. Sometimes I felt very close to living it, and then again further away.

When I was 19, I travelled after graduation to Vietnam and the Philippines. Afterwards I explored the Azores, Portugal, and Egypt. Throughout those years I gathered a lot, learned a lot, but also felt really lost, not knowing where I was within all these possibilities and paths.

So at 22, I decided to start studying. I began with a course called Philosophy, Art and Sustainable Entrepreneurship, and in the second semester switched to Economics and Acting and acting is what I eventually finished my bachelor’s in and what captured me as a vehicle for change of the invidiual personality as well as group dynamics.

After my first longer time travelling, I felt pretty ungrounded and was seeking purpose and a stable environment ,deep connections with people where I could show myself with all my insecurities. During this time I lived in a small village near a forest, where the university is located, and I lived in community houses. First in one with 25 people, all so different, and then in a bigger house with about 9 people. The wish I arrived with was fulfilled: I learned how to live communally, to share a lot, to care a lot, and to be true with myself and others. These years at university were just as much about relationships as about learning a new field of knowledge.

Now my wish has changed again, and everything feels open. I seek the wide world once more , and after the more intellectual, theoretical phase of my life, I long to dive into practice. I want to learn about plants and also pass on what I’ve learned to other people. My wish for this next phase is to dance and sing a lot and return to a life where I don’t need to plan so much, but can live more presently. A life where my thoughts about the state of the world might become concrete actions.

Generally, I would say , and here comes a part I wrote five years ago , that I am quite an active person who loves being outside and moving my body. I like yoga, dancing, swimming, climbing, and playful games. I like making music, playing the ukulele, guitar, and singing. I really enjoy drumming, even though I don’t own a drum and just play on whatever objects are around.
I also love being lost in the woods, just exploring. Reading is nice too , philosophy, spirituality, health, and beautiful stories. I really like Hermann Hesse, a German author.

I love tales , listening to them and telling them. Tales of individuals, and also the stories we tell about the world and about life.

Right now I’m reading a book about the power of stories and storytelling, and how we find ourselves inside them and can overcome hardship through them. The world is in a lot of pain , it has been for a long time , and now it feels like more than ever. Or maybe I’m simply thinking about it more than ever, and about what I can do.

Maybe we can do something together ..

whether it starts with us here
or in the places around us.
Spinning ideas, seeking opportunities,
telling our tales and our future dreams of the world.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Yours,
Mana
