Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music if well-performed and not too loud. Most of my listening time is Classical and Jazz, but for a while I will listen to just about anything (other than Screaming Rock and Hip-Hop).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a bunch of friends to chip in to give my former girlfriend laser eye surgery so she could see without glasses for the first time since she was a child.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach: Laughter Yoga, Hatha (classical) Yoga, Music (especially Pioano), FIlom History, English/Creative Writing. ~~~ I try to learn every day! One place I'd really like to learn more is in the field of Art (I'm a big fan of the French Impressionists - whenever in Zurich I go to the art museum and gaze for an hour at my favorite Monet). ~~~ I share laughter and joy on a daily basis.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music: if we can get to a piano, I can play Chopin, Bach, boogie-woogie, film-music - and my original compositions. Food: I'm a very good cook and happy to share recipes (from vegetarian to "offbeat"). Fun: As a Laughter Yoga champion I am ready to go anywhere on earth and offer free, heartfelt laughter with everyone who is willing to join me. Languages: My French is very good, and I can coach you in English if you wish.
