I am a more or less a passive Wikipedian, I do read a lot of articles but I hardly ever edit anything except spelling- and/or grammar mistakes (mostly on the German wiki). I do like to hang around in the discussion pages though. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll aid in any way I can. I live in Köln and love to play soccer on my free time. As a kid I lived a couple of years first in the USA, then we moved to Austria, Wien and when I was around 10 we moved to Köln. All the moving resulted in that I don't feel like I have a very strong sense of where in the world "home" is. I can make myself at home almost anywhere. I think all the moving made me extra prone to traveling.

I am a devout Protestant (†) deep within Roman Catholic western Germany :). I have a very limited knowledge of both Latin and Ancient Greek as I took classical studies at school, I intend to learn to speak them both better.

Working with English speaking tourists in the Austrian alps during the heavy ski-season. Got a job as a translator of official documents into German at a governmental bureau that will start in March 2008. Planing on moving to the US next year.
