CURRENT MISSION

help people, enjoy life, understand some things

ABOUT ME

I am an American, but haven't lived in the US for about 10 years now. I recently moved back to Germany and hope to work in the refugee aid sector.

PHILOSOPHY

fight suffering. don't stand for it. help whomever you can, including yourself, as much as you can.

if you're going to die anyway, you might as well live vibrantly for a while before you go.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

my "amazing" experiences tend to be on the level of interpersonal connections, I guess, which don't sound very spectacular when summarized in a few words

教，学，和分享

hmm, I can help you with your English or your German (or your Turkish, if you're not a Turk). I can teach you to knit. I can teach you to play ultimate frisbee (and show you where practices are). I can teach you about linguistics, or about physics (up to a certain point). I can tell you all about refugees in Turkey.

I'd love to learn some things from you though. Anything, really, as long as you're passionate about it.
