Hello dear Steemian and welcome to my world! It's really nice to have you here and share it with you! :)

My name is Linda and I am a freelance writer, journalist and artist from Germany. I would love to tell you a bit more about who I am, what makes me happy and what inspires me, so you know what to expect on my blog. Let's get started. Have fun and feel free to ask me if there is anything you want to know <3

Thank you very much for your support! :)

Lots of Love,

Yours Linda

Where I am from: I grew up in Freiburg, a city in Southern Germany in the beautiful Black Forest. Nowadays I live in Rostock, a city in Northern Germany right at the wonderful coast of the Baltic Sea.

My Birthday and zodiac sign: 11.07.1991 / Cancer

Relationship status: Married since 03.09.2013 and dating since 30.12.2006. We had a very touching and beautiful celtic wedding. Here you can see me in my wedding dress :)

Introvert or extrovert: I'm way more introverted, but not really shy. I can talk to strangers easily and have some smalltalk, but I prefer having deep conversations. Spending time alone is essential to me, as this is the best way to recharge my energy. That's why I don't meet my friends everyday even if I really love them. I just need a lot of time for myself, because introverts get way more fast overwhelmed by all the impressions around them. So I take time for myself everyday to calm down, meditate, find my inner balance, grow within myself and go out into the nature. The funny thing is that even if I am introverted I really, really enjoy going to Goa parties and festivals and dance wild and free all night long, as I LOVE Goa and Psytrance. This is one of the few situations in which I enjoy crowded places and interactions with a lot of people at the same time. The vibes there are amazing and people are so versatile and open-minded. And there is no easier way for me to get out of myself and my headspace and I love it to dance until I am in a trance state. Being around a lot of people and gaining energy at the same time is kind of a miracle to me, so I really appreciate this personal treasure I discovered :) <3

Some words which describe me: Daydreamer, emotional, creative, open-minded, affecionate, optimistic, thankful, sensitive, empathic, vulnerable

Dream job when I was a kid: Marine biologist, writer

Tattoos: Yes, I have 2 tattoos so far

Fear of death: No

Am I spiritual?: Definately! Spirituality is one of the most important aspects in my life and means more to me than I can probably describe to you. I meditate regularly for more than 10 years now and felt always very connected to everything and everyone and the otherworld. Even as a child I got really sad, upset and desperate when I saw someone treating nature and other people wrong. Awareness and compassion have always been very, very important to me. I often cried for the suffers of other beings, as I am very empathic and feel them like they are my own wounds.

Do I believe in God?: I believe in the divine

Listen to my heart or head?: Most of the time I listen to my heart

Hobbies: Meditation, activities in nature like hiking and making multi-day trekking tours by bike with my tent, travelling, writing, reading, dancing, vegan cooking and baking, art (doing and watching)

Topics that interest me: Fotography, music, spirituality and shamanism, philosophy, (transpersonal) psychology, ethnobotany, festivals, personal growth, veganism, holisitc lifestyle and medicine, psychedelic art and experiences, animal welfare and nature conservation, minimalism

Beside all the tings I love and spontaneously want to share with you, these are the things I will write about the most.

What I do when I am alone: Singing out loud and sometimes performing like on a big stage :D

Music I love: I LOVE Goa and Psytrance and listen to it everyday. Sometimes even 4 to 10 hours a day. Beside this, I listen to almost every kind of music (but of course not every artist). From Techno to Metal, Pop, Reggae, Hip Hop, Classical Music, and I really enjoy Ambient music.

Books I love: There are too many to tell you all of them. I will present you some of my favourite ones on my page if you want and tell something about them. Reading is magical!
The last book I have read was “Beneath the Wheel” by Herman Hesse. I appreciate this talented writer a lot!

A life changing experience: Kind of a near-death experience after a stranger at a bar put some drugs into my drink (without me knowing it) when I was 19 years old. If you would like to hear more about it, I can share the story with you.

Something I am proud of: I used to have an eating disorder caused by depression and traumatic experiences which I have overcome on my way to my true and happy self. I lost 34 kilograms (75 pounds) until now due to changing my diet and taking exercise like riding my bike, swiming, dancing and hiking

I will tell you my story and how I managed to lose so much wheight while eating delicious meals (yep, not only salad and soup) and without going hungry to bed. Here you can see a before and after picture:

What I want to do in my life: Travel around the world as a backpacker and going on a lot of adventures with my husband, dive with whale sharks, whales and dolphins, meditating in special places like Machu Picchu, write books, help people to grow and find their way to an authentic and amazing life, visit a lot of beautiful Psytrance festivals all over the world, becoming the best version of myself, make as many people happy as I can, and much more ;)

What I love and what makes me happy: (Wow, there is sooooo much... :D Here's a little insight: ) Spending time with my husband in nature and having deep conversations as I love him and nature from all of my heart, cats make me happy everytime, making people smile, see how people grow and unfold their potential, making new experiences

Some fun facts about me: I used to be a Goth when I was a teenager, I dream about wearing a mermaid tail by Merbella and dive with it (if you like mermaids you should google it, the tails are stunning!), I started to teach myself how to read at the age of 3 years and surprised my parents by reading out loud one day
