Music, Movies, and Books

Books I love in all shapes and sizes, I read novels as well as non-fiction. Some great fiction: "The remains of the day" by Kazuo Ishiguro, "Love in the times of Cholera" by Garcia Marquez, Hemingways short stories
Some great non-fiction: "A short history of nearly everything" by Bryson, "Nachrichten aus einem unbekannten Universum" by Schätzing, everything by Edward O. Wilson and Jared Diamond (I had the honor to meet and interview these last two, great scientists and thinkers)
I watch a lot of French movies to improve my language skills and I like British English movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Sunrise in the Guatemalan Jungle. Reaching Everest basecamp without passing out. Chasing a spaceship through the steppe of Kazakhstan.

A more relaxed look on life. Some German vocabulary? Sorry, I am not much of a teacher.
