About Me

Interested in many things, introverted by nature, eager to learn and to make new experiences. These are some of my current interests:

  • Caminos de Santiago

    In September 2019, I made it on my first Camino de Santiago in Portugal - from Porto to Santiago de Compostela . In 2023, I now walked the Camino Francés and the Camino Finisterre y Muxía. What a phenomenal experience! Walking is such a great source of contentment and you can carry all you ever really need in a backpack. Check out my Youtube playlist of daily short summary videos of this thru-hike if the spirit moves you.

    Shanti Bhavan

    I consider myself blessed to have served as a volunteer teacher at Shanti Bhavan, one of the most inspiring education projects that is trying to eradicate generational poverty in India.

    Dream of a world only your heart can build, act with courage and love and don’t ask why. - Abraham George, founder of Shanti Bhavan

    Watch: The documentary Daughters of Destiny on Netflix, the trailer or my summary video on Youtube.
    Read: Alumna Shilpa Raj's The Elephant Chaser's Daughter and the founder Dr. George's India Untouched.

    Photography & Travelling

    I am passionate about photography and travelling. So far I have travelled to nearly 60 countries and lived abroad for 4 years and I still hope to see a little more of the world. There hasn't been a single place that hasn't been worth it but nonetheless there are places where I felt a deeper connection, like India and Hong Kong. I have uploaded a few pics and will upload more over time - time permitting.
