About Me

I am a curious person who gets enthusiastic about anything from cell biology to Shakespeare to weird ice cream flavors. By training I am a cultural scientist, a linguist (I speak English, French and Polish as well as German, my mother tongue) and a literary scholar. But I enjoy everything that teaches me about the things that go on around and within us - if you happen to know the popular science radio show "Radiolab" or the "TED talks"; that's very much what I love to relax to after a day of teaching at my university and producing some more pages of what is going to become my dissertation one day...I am a very good listener and interlocutor, because I can put myself into other people's shoes to give them advice or just comfort. I am generally optimistic and encourage others as much as possible. But I can be also quite direct too, especially with friends and family, because loyalty to me means that you sometimes have to tell people what they don't want to hear - and I accept the same honesty as far as I am concerned. Still, I am basically a harmony-seeking person who doesn't like to quarrel; yet I will speak frankly when something bothers me. With the people closest to me I can enjoy silence as much as laughter and talking. I love eating and cooking (not sure which one is more satisfying) and I frequently try out new recipes. I have a sweet tooth that is definitely stronger than me. But fortunately I also enjoy exercizing. Especially when I'm running I feel like leaving everything behind. I can lose myself in music and literature and I think that in a positive sense I don't have a taste in either, I just have moods. I cherish a classical piece of music (medieval, Baroque, Romantic, minimal) as much a fine crossover project, world music, progressive bluegrass (Bela Fleck) or just some good healthy pop beats. I consider this "hopeless tolerance" a good thing: beauty is where you find it - or where it finds you. I love to take pictures and to do creative writing, to travel and to meet new people (my personal highlight last year was a three-). I guess it's time now to talk about "what I'm looking for" with my profile. Maybe it's too simple, but for me it's really about having good conversations with you in the first place and letting things go the way they "want to", nice and easy. I am not disappointed if I don't find "the" one big love at once (to be honest, I don't believe in "the" big love). Let's start by getting to know each other and see what happens. If you like my rather "slow paced" approach, if you're open-minded, honest, positive and generous, don't wait to e-mail me. But please, do me a favor, don't just send a general "Want to meet you" message, I won't react to those. Rather start an actual converstation with me, tell me about yourself or ask me a question, I'd love to hear from you! Oh, and one more thing: For me, the message service here is more like an ***, so please don't be bothered if I don't get into chat-like messaging with you right away.Tschüss. Doing something active together like cooking, hiking, or going to a concert/museum etc.. Anything that lets us getting to know each other!

    " We have sugar and fire in our blood. We can ride a horse, be a debutante, throw a left hook all while making sweet tea. And if we have an opinion, you get to know it. We're both the pride and the downfall of the bluegrass" - I love UK basketball!! I'm outgoing. Spontanious, doenst like the word no. And or someone telling me just because I'm a girl I can't. Family always comes first. I'm an open book with a few torn pages. I'm not one to open up right away good things come to those who wait. What you see is wht you get all 5'2 of me. Lol. Spontaneous

    Hi, first time for this sort of thing, so im just going to rant on and not over think too much about what im typing here,something a little cringe worthy having to explain yourself! Here gos...So travelling is a real passion, I have traveled quite a bit so far, but am always planning my next stop, whether that be jumping into my car and heading off for a few days, or over seas, love different cultures, the way people live & of course eat! I love my food, love cooking for friends & family, and work in that industry also. I am an artist and am doing allot of painting at the moment aswell as giving painting classes, which is relatively new to me, but exciting & initially nerve wracking.Personality wise I have lots of energy, a pretty positive person, like being around people, socializing, pub, going to see a band or festivals, anything thats going im usually there! I like to have fun :)Soooo... thats me in a squeeze, nothing too crazy, but nothing wrong with a bit of madness either, or badness :)
