About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Move to Switzerland, make some radio features, eat some food

ABOUT ME

I am: half German/half Korean, pretty low-key, curious, adaptive, mostly happy
I like: being environmentally and socially conscious, leisure, learning random words in foreign languages, learning in general, spontaneous outbreaks of creativity, radio, musicals, beards, dogs, cheese

I just moved to Zurich, Switzerland where I live with my boyfriend. I spend about a week per month in Cologne, Germany where I work shifts at the science news desk of a German public radio station. The rest of the time I report in sciencey goings on at Swiss universities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've just rediscovered Queen. God they're good! I tend to like old timey music, big fan of the Beatles and the Who but I've been known to boogey down to electronic music too.
