My home is where my heart is...

Not everybody can decide where to live, but most of them can design their own living space. I think that everybody has a dream in their head about how to inhabit a place. There are 1000 ways and more to design a living space. My home is my castle and means to me a hideaway where I feel safe.

In western societies the living space is like a third skin. So I feel it too. But I think that, wherever the people I love are, that is the place where I can feel a little bit at home.

In my flat with my boyfriend are many plants, because I need nature in my immediate surroundings. Furthermore, I love to have animals around me. At the moment we live together with two cats: Azreal and Bernd. I hope that we can move in a house with a garden, soon.
