Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share: meditation, yoga, mathematics, physics and astronomy.

I like to think about/discuss/exchange almost anything with friendly people: politics, language/linguistics, science, religion, meditation, motorcycles/cars, gardening, beer brewing, travel stories, life experiences, global development, green economics, humanism (feminism) etc.

I believe in the power of positive cultural exchange. This is one of the most important things for making our world a better place. The more we understand each other, the more we will realize we are more similar then different!

What I love to learn: Language wise, currently focusing on Brazilian Portuguese. In the background I'm also keeping up with my German/Latin knowledge. Gardening, cooking, baking, making microb-foods (like yogurt, cheese, beer, kambucha), piano, science and car/motorcycle repair.
