Still life with Woodpecker (Tom Robbins), Hitchhikers guide to the Universe (Douglas Adams), The Drifters (James Michener), Travels with Charley (John Steinbeck), Die Physiker (Friedrich Durrenmatt), and all travel books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Recently.. Driving alone throughout Iceland and really experiencing the country in my own eyes. Also, stepping outside of the car and being blasted with 60-80mph winds and not being able to talk or breath because it was so strong.
Teach, Learn, Share
If you have ever been interested in homebrewing. I can provide you with the tools to start:) I also love to cook! Everything from Malaysian street food to French cuisine. I have been learning German for the last 5 1/2 years. I can teach you all the bad words and the good ones too. Most sports.. on the American side (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Ultimate Frisbee. I can teach you how to understand or play any of these)
What I would like to learn: the basics of Spanish. Further cooking recipes. Surfing, rock climbing, sailing. Really anything that will make me think and get a smile on my face.
