Music, Movies, and Books

In my younger years, I was into music, movies and books. Recently I am a YouTube junkie. I watch videos on topics of interest (see above).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The universe and life are truly amazing! In my view, individual accomplishments are much less important.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have done professional teaching (English teacher, German teacher, software trainer, public speaker, science advocate, teaching assistant in physics and in linguistics). I like to learn and share. ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sometimes I talk too much. The best sharing is about listening and being awake. I am happy to pay for food.
