It seems it's a strange thing to love your job.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to try and organise strange little things, like dinner parties and running activties.

Now I wanna strip things back. Would much rather hang out with 3 people than 30, so i guess the gathering days are over.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

film (directors): amongst others: Rolf de Heer, David Lynch; Werner Herzog, Wes Anderson, Takeshi Kitano; Gaspar Noe;

Music: oh jeez......anything from Detroit, most thins with an African influence (esp. Nigerian...good ol' Fela), Brian Eno...oh man this list is too long to get started. Lots of soundtracks. RIP Johannsson

Books: Murakami. And others, but mainly Murakami. David Wong is one of the very few authors that can make me laugh. Recently I finished reading the Art of Gathering and am trying to put it into practice throughout my life.

Seem to be watching a whole lot of Joe Rogan Experience podcasts these days- great guests and long chats.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

a sumo wrestler let me beat him in a match.
i made an audio book for a lover once.
a week long hike under sweden's midnight sun from 10pm-4am everyday also ranks pretty highly.
i've been privy to the inner secrets of many souls, and i thank them for that.

I used to say that most of this pales in comparison to being in Africa for six months. but just recently, I dunno... the thing that seems most amazing now, and i say this now with pride but amazement at the fact itself... I'm really glad that I seem capable of spending vast amounts of time with my parents and finding out so many new things. Maybe it's just an age thing.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

That job I mentioned earlier? It's as a teacher, mainly of English. I love it, mainly because my students always teach me. As in life, I love being wrong.
