CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy myself while simultaneously managing to save for retirement.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit at a loss for words that will clearly and concisely express my unending coolness, so I'm just gonna stop here.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your existence. At the same time, make it enjoyable for other people, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be a big CouchSurfer back in the day, I was even an ambassador for my city back when that was a thing. Now I'm trying to get back into it to see if it's still something for me.

Interests

Languages, travel, indie rock, dancing, yoga, baking, running, food, hiking, and, of course, much much more.

I can get at least temporarily interested in just about anything, even the history of artificial grass. (That last bit is not a joke. The really funny part? Everyone involved in that conversation was sober.)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Shins, Passion Pit, of Montreal, Jeff Buckley, a Tribe Called Quest, Feist, the Beach Boys, Vampire Weekend, the Dodos, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, White Teeth, Crime and Punishment, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Jane Austen's collected works

These are my favourites from 10 years ago. I think I'll just keep them here for old time's sake.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Half-marathon. I went from being a very sporadic runner to being a focused, strong, and veeeeeery slow runner.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me about the multiverse, about your country, or (especially) your language. Teach me how to knit, or how to blow dry my hair correctly, or how to throw a football. There are so many things I want to know, just teach me something!

I'm more than happy to teach you about English or German, but it's more likely that I'll find my way to the subject of language on my own and you'll end up begging me to stop rambling about it :-)
