About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.

If you desire to see eternal life or discover wealth in poverty don’t follow your path timidly to discover real life, enter it like a hero. From: Rumi ” Dancing the Flame” Translated by Nader Khalili
