Overview
About Me
I'm from the US, came to Germany to study, met my now wife here and have been living in Freiburg ever since. After finishing up my masters in German Education and doing a bit of dancing, I'm now working as a forest/Waldorf-kindergarten teacher, exploring and enjoying the playfulness and convictions of children in the woods. I also work as a translator: www.morristranslations.de
I like playing with pens and watercolors.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
I can't ever seem to name favorites.... but the last book I read was Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer and now I'm constantly on the look out for Scheinriesen.
This is no longer true, and the next statement won’t be for long either, but I recently read Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer and still laugh and feel sad about it from time to time.
