I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way. I’m on a second gap year and traveling without a plan. Show me your favorite spot of your city!

I like to write and I love to hear and collect people’s stories. Everyone has that one great story that kills at dinner table and if you want to share yours with me I’d be happy to write it down. It doesn’t have to be anything wild or amazing, I just want to collect anecdotes from real life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that mixes genres. Traditional folk music (I especially like an eastern europian sound) goes great with techno, punk or rock. I also love Gorillaz, AM, The Last Shadow Puppets, Babyshambles and Pink Floyd.

My favorite movies are pretty and dream-like and leave a lingering feeling of happiness. The Grand Budapest Hotel, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Little Miss Sunshine are some of my favorites. Fight Club, Pulp Fiction and Requiem for a Dream do not fall into the previous category but they are great and I don’t get tired of them.

My favorite book is finnish and called ”On sex and mathematics” and John Irving works (almost) every time: A Prayer for Owen Meany is the best book I’ve read in a while.
