Music, Movies, and Books

Music for me is like breathing and I love all the beats that keeps my hips and feet moving. I have a lot of fascination for the weird and wonderful sounds, small and intimate music venues just generally new experiences - Acid Mothers Temple and Lhasa de Sela are some of the recent discoveries.
For the movies - I guess it's similar. I do love some controversial twisted documentaries and unique stories. Now collecting material in hope to make a movie one day, too! ;)
Recently absorbing information any texts on bee-keeping, neuroplastocoty and buddhism. I like a bit of psychology and good story-telling. Miracle in the Andes and Absolute at Large were probably one of the most memorable reads for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled from Portland to San Francisco. All alone. Slept in the wild, tackled head winds and successfully fought off all the racoons trying to nick my food!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can I introduce you to polish (russian) dumplings, juggling and improv dance.
I want to learn anything and everything the world can offer!
And hopefully we can share really good memories of all the experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

we can share the best chocolate I will bring with me!
