About Me

Solving the riddle of my life.. And exploring the world in the meantime!

I'm an easy going, open-minded and curious geek who loves nature, science and life. Not just my life but all life on this planet. I'm quite sure I'll love life on other planets too, when we find some.. unless it finds us and will do the same what humans did to other animals on Earth.

I'd like to live to one hundred, mainly to see if either of the above happens by 2090.

Interests

As everybody here, I like to travel, lately mainly around the UK national parks and mountain ranges.

Work, daily routines, being unconscious and dreaming make up most of my day, but when I do have some spare time, I like to read books, go to gigs, musicals and theatres, practice music instruments or work on one of my many side projects.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch movies and shows much, to be honest.. only go to the cinema every once in a while to keep up with new highly rated releases. The last show I watched was the second season of Game of Thrones.. lame, I know!
I'm more of a YouTube person, I suppose. There, I watch a lot of educational content from the likes of Vsauce, Kurzgesagt, Scishow, Seeker, Samrter Every Day, Veritasium, Physics Girl, It's Okay To Be Smart, Eons, Deep Look, etc..

On the music front, I prefer chill tunes but I'm open to everything. My favourite genres range from ambient and minimal techno to jazz and classical so it's hard to list just a few.

And books.. It's all about non-fiction for me at the moment. I used to read a lot of sci-fi but then realized I should learn more about the current world rather than fantasize about the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've survived so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about how the world works. Pick anything from galactic superclusters to the standard model of quantum particles and I'll be happy to learn about it.. well, as long as it's science based or can be observed/experienced.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share a bit of myself and my knowledge and view of the world. Whatever topics our conversation takes us to, I'm sure there will be smiles, laughs, wows, phews and hmms.

If a good conversation isn't enough, I'll be happy to show you some interesting science experiment and teach you something new about how the world works.

And what's better than science experiments? .. cooking experiments! So if you're brave enough, we can try to cook something new!
