ABOUT ME

I'm an American who has been living in Munich for almost 7 years. I love traveling as well as learning new languages and cultures. I'm pretty easy-going and try to be open to whatever situation comes at me. I like hiking, cycling, swimming, reading, watching movies as well as going out and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

To try to influence the lives of those around me in a positive way.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books include The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner and Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck, and I love Sherlock Holmes stories and anything by Agatha Christie. I also enjoy the novels of Norwegian author Knut Hamsun and German author Hermann Hesse.
I like old movies, for example Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen's earlier films, and anything with Humphrey Bogart.
As for music, I am huge Bob Dylan fan and I tend to lean towards folk/rock music, but am ready to expand my horizons!
