Howdy y'all :)

From the USA and now living in Germany teaching english in a Gymnasium. And so you're not worried, I do not support Trump.
I get excited talking about politics or psychology or music. Or maybe the politics and psychology of music.
I love exploring as many things as possible. Places, lifestyles, foods, friendships, instruments, good hiking trails, weird nightclubs, theories on human existence...

The goal is to try everything. Probably twice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

„And then there is the most dangerous risk of all -- the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”
