CURRENT MISSION

To see the world from as many angles as possible.

ABOUT ME

2016 Stefan:

In Germany and Poland until August 31!

2015 Stefan:

Man, 2006 Stefan was really immature!

2006 Stefan:

I was a cesarian birth, hey I like to make an entrance. I prefer sauerkraut to Nascar and foosball to asparagus. "Slake", "cackle", and "boobie" rank highly among my favorite words. I once fell in love with an Amish girl who smiled at me from the back of a buggy and have had a fondness for the Amish people ever since. I think life is too short for bad beer or regular exercise.

PHILOSOPHY

He who dares, wins.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The cliffs of Meteora at dusk are staggering. Hiking up Mt. Washington in January is staggering in a different way. My toe was numb for a month. Hiking a volcano in Guatemala called Acatenango was also an experience that I'll never forget but really I think you can find amazing moments anywhere if you know how to look.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a whistle out of an acorn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Silly jokes and an open mind.
