CURRENT MISSION

Meet at least one person from every country in the world (it's a slow process)

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of an introverted extrovert (does that even make sense?) I really, really enjoy meeting new people and listening to their stories, but some days I would just rather lie in bed and read a book than have a conversation with anyone. I'm a little bit shy, and as a result I make terrible puns (don't worry, I won't kick you out if you don't laugh)but once I warm up I like to think of myself as quite the conversationalist.

PHILOSOPHY

They say the world started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang, or did it just seem big because there was nothing else to drown it out at the time?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lehren, lernen, teilen

It's so hard to know what to write! Do I tell you how I know that the little piece on the end of your shoelace is called an aglet? You'll never remember that, so here's a funny:
Fish don't blink, right, so if you're trying to take the eye out of a fish and it blinks, it may actually be a lion.
