Lisa
Spent her growing-up years in Connecticut, but got out of there as soon as possible. She spent several years roaming around, from New Orleans to Denver, from the California Coast to Costa Rica before she was drawn to the sweet sunny American South— specifically Nashville, Tennessee. It was there that she picked up a love for clawhammer banjo and also put herself into massive amounts of debt acquiring an M.A. in English. Then, after trailing the ghost of Rilke across Europe one winter, she fell in love with Munich and decided to stay. She has developed a passion for the culture and history, and spends her days learning German, playing the banjo, and telling everyone what a great city Munich is.

For the last few years she has been a high school teacher in rural Bavaria but then got sick of living amongst pigs and cows and moved to the bright lights of Munich! Since then she has been exploring Munich and getting a taste of what this amazing city has to offer!
