Über mich
CURRENT MISSION
Lets see what happens...
ABOUT ME
I'm a positive pessimist, who loves the outdoors, but has spent (and continues to spend) way too much time reading books in small, dark offices located somewhere in or near the social sciences block at university...
PHILOSOPHY
"Nothing is as dreadful as it seems..." (Mole, Wind in the Willows)

Musik, Filme und Bücher
I love good travel writing - Paul Theroux, Bruce Chatwin, Grahame Greene, VS Naipaul. I really dislike books where the author is the hero of his own story - Shantaram, the Power of One etc.
My taste is music is old fashioned and all over the place. I worship Bob Dylan...and I love old Blues stuff from Leadbelly and the like. Other stuff I like: Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Neil Young, Brenda Fassie, the Violent Femmes, The Velvet Undergound, Joy Division,...
Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
Ummm....walking through the cloud forest between the Andes and the Amazon in Peru in the early morning mist...learning to stand up and stay standing up on a surfboard in Durban...there are too many to choose from...
Lehren, lernen, teilen
Anyone want to know about the politics of rural sanitation in Ghana between 1935 and 1965? No, no one? REALLY???
