ABOUT ME

I like cycling and Starcraft II.

I like listening to
BBC World Service
National Public Radio
Radio Netherlands
Deutsche Welle

PHILOSOPHY

I am always learning (and so are you). Education and its practical application can solve many problems.

I did my best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By talking too much. As well being a good listener.
By being plain and simple. And complicated at the same time.
By being an silly. But also coming up with good ideas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with the most nice and interesting people in France and Germany.

Staying with local people provides a context far beyond that which I can read on wikipedia/wikitravel or the variety of country statistics that I know.

I am looking forward to exploring different parts of Europe.

Interests

I like paradoxes and non-sequiturs.

I enjoy learning languages and telling jokes.

Figuring out how the world works. I like to have my mind boggled.

I like talking about sociology, social-psychology, economics, cars, finance. Of all these topics, I am especially interested in its practical application to life.

• education
• cars
• cycling
• economics
• teaching
• languages
• psychology
• sociology
• statistics

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the Jason Bourne series, because he travels all over Europe. There's something appealing about being an international super-spy with no identity.

Das Leben der Anderen,

Rilo Kiley, Mirah, Wir Sind Helden, Karpatenhund.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have driven on the Nürburgring in Germany!

I have also confused Nürburg with Nürnberg (Nuremberg).

I have met some amazing people who have all taught me many things.

I am looking forward to driving on some Swiss mountain roads.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot of different ideas on a lot of different things.

I read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers and I think I'd prefer to spend 2000 hours on five different things than 10,000 hours to be the best at one thing.

Actually, I probably spend five hours on 2000 different things.
