Overview
About Me
Happy-go-lucky workoholic trying not to lose touch with the non-corporate world.
One does not have to be insane- but it most definitely helps. For everything else, there's yoga, music and meditation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because it's a great place to meet people one can learn from!

Music, Movies, and Books
Fairly eclectic taste in music, ranging from blasting Vivaldi out of car windows to scouring Spotify for indie acts, via Simon & Garfunkel and Philip Glass, Alt-J, Florence & the Machine, Vienna Teng + the always highly questionable workout music. I will quite probably never get over is the breakup of the Civil Wars.
Movies: if it's deep, visually captivating and features solid acting, I'm sold. ( I only cry during wildlife documentaries...)
Books: huge bias towards Commonwealth literature- The English Patient, the God of Small Things, Heart of Darkness, Atlas Shrugged...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Does getting through lawschool and living to tell the tale count?
There was that time when I directed the Grand-Duke of Luxembourg into singing Happy Birthday
Teach, Learn, Share
Cursing like a sailor in multiple languages is a skill I'm more than willing to share, and I've never encountered a person or situation that did not come with its own learning experience.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Cards against Humanity with expansions and a few rather rad custom cards ;-)
