I’m writing this sitting near an old German lad who has been mumbling under his throat in the last 30 minutes, and I don’t get a single word – welcome to the life chapter of a nomad who has been roaming around Berlin in the past 1 year and managed to survive in this city while speaking fluently only 5 German words: Ja, Nein, Genau, Danke, and Tschüüüüüüüüsss (remember, extending the “ü” is important).

I’m Quynh, the “kiddo” in any room I enter. Probably because of my age (10 bucks say I’m much younger than you, whoever you are), probably because of how little I actually am (5’2’’?). But my effort to outgrow myself outgrows myself, as I make up for my brain age with the hours I put into brainstorming, into the ad archive since 1975, into feeling the goosebumps over thrilling ideas crawling on my skin, and into daydreaming about becoming the next Peggy Olson.

Nominated for “Most Likely To Host A Stand-up Comedy In Tokyo” by my ad classmates, advised to “Draw Cartoons For The New Yorker As A Side Gig” by a Brazillian CD, I guess I could make people giggle a little bit with my humble slice of wit. Don’t buy it? Hit me up, and we’ll see.
