CURRENT MISSION

My mission at the moment is to stop looking at my computer so much.

ABOUT ME

I am quite small and my hair is 'strawberry blonde'.

PHILOSOPHY

Please don't talk to me about the free will problem.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you stay with me I'll talk to you and be nice. Also if I stay with you. It's like karma.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couches, floors, beds, surfers, hosters, FRIENDS

Interessen

I like to stretch my legs in as many ways and places as possible. And I like to play piano music that sounds a bit like Philip Glass. I work as a researcher in the field of social psychology and I am interested in cognitive biases and what motivates people to do good things.

• piano
• gymnastics

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I love Donna Tartt, although least of all The Little Friend, and Herman Hesse, e.g. Narcissus and Goldmund. And Dreamland by Arni Magnusson is brilliant. It'd be so good if he could write a self-help manual for the UK too. I don't read much poetry but I love it when people can tell me good poems.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I lived in Iceland for a while and that was constantly amazing. Hot pots, snow and northern lights ...

Lehren, lernen, teilen

If you play the piano, let's improvise together. If you know folk songs let's teach each other! I like making books, so I welcome book-binding skills. Also, if you know how to do acro gymnastics or any circus skills let's do some of that.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can find you a good whisky, sing you a song, or teach you some yoga.

Länder, in denen ich gelebt habe

Iceland, United Kingdom
