Music, Movies, and Books

Some authors I like: Susan Sontag, William Faulkner, Tom Wolfe , David Foster Wallace, Philip Roth, Doris Lessing.

Music-wise,I grew up with trip-hop and hip-hop, but recently I'm getting more and more into jazz, post-rock, and alternative rock.

Movies: mostly 'art-house' movies with an intriguing story to express one particular perspective on life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrating New Year's eve on the peak of the Tajamulco mountain in Guatemala.

Going from Moscow to Bangkok overland: together with a friend, I rode the Trans-Siberian railway to lake Baikal, then turned south through Mongolia, along the Chinese east coast and then to the South, finally crossed Laos and Northern Thailand to Bangkok.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a lot about environmental issues - but only if you want to. I'm not trying to brain-wash my guests :D. If you come to Potsdam or Berlin, I can give you some history lessons so that you might be a bit less confused by the question which Friedrich and which Friedrich Wilhelm did what.
