Ah I'm never good at these things...

I'm a small town Texas boy born and raised. About 2 years ago I resigned, sold everything, and booked a one-way ticket to Berlin. Bit of a quarter-life crisis but haven't looked back since. There's still places in the world I want to see and live in, but for now I'm pretty dang happy here.

I'm currently working as a tour guide and an English teacher.

Stuff & things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to just about anything. Few favorites might be Explosions in the Sky, American Analog Set, Aesop Rock, LCD Soundsystem, Of Montreal. Lately I've had Tune-Yards, Sturgill Simpson, and Flume on repeat.

I was the worst English major, still haven't gotten around to most of the classics, but I'll read just about anything with a spaceship in it. Recently been on a big Cormac Mccarthy kick, still not sure how I feel about him though. Oh and comics, they probably take up most of my bookshelf realestate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made the move.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work as tour guide in Berlin and genuinely enjoy showing people this city's unique sights, history, and culture.
I'm also a certified TESL/TEFL teacher so if you happen to need any English language lessons I'm here to help.
I have plenty of useless facts about history, science, science fiction, and superheroes (ever wondered who the founding members of the United Federation of Planets were, or who would win in a fight between Batman and a Jedi?) that I will happily share.
I'm curious and thirsty for knowledge and experiences of any and all kinds, so teach me whatever you know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty hopeless cook but I'd gladly treat you to a meal or beer from your favorite eating/drinking establishment. Other than that friendship and (hopefully) good conversation!
