book stations

About the author

I love the idea of living in a simple house, built into the rocks of a cliff, with a view of the endless sea. I love the idea of this perfect little place where I could write.

Funny enough, while I love solitude, nature, the sea – I also love to create places where we can come together, places that don’t make us sick, places where we have reasons to laugh. And sometimes I wonder whether I build all those places so that I would enjoy going there.

Though, as I write these words, I sense that I might always prefer the house in the rocks. But I love the idea of walking down into the town, maybe half an hour on foot. Of course, this town has a book station, a dot.station and many other such places which allow us to unearth our talents and be and thrive and laugh.

Strangely, most of my life I lived in a city, Berlin. But I hope to pack my suitcase soon, bid my farewell and travel where my ideas and works will take me.

I enjoy solitude, but I also look forward to many a chance meeting, to many a collaboration for the future of our planet, to many nights of laughing, thinking, debating and maybe dancing.

I am, Charlie Alice Raya, and apparently a little solemn tonight.

A good place to get an overview of all the things I’m up to will be my new website: www.charlie-alice-raya.org. Presently, it’s under construction, but it will steadily fill up over the next weeks and months.

Meanwhile I am more than happy to discuss all the ideas introduced on this website. If you are interested in making the book stations happen, please, get in touch.
