ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

OK, here are 4, it's to so hard to choose...

1. Going to the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert
2. First time I jumped from a plane completely by myself
3. Watching a top-quality Flamenco dance show in Spain
for the first time
4. Fighting in Muay Thai kickboxing

Teach, Learn, Share

I suppose I could demonstrate and teach a bit of dance (Salsa, Tango,...), sports (Muay Thai kickboxing, swimming).
I can also explain a few things about computers and the Internet.
I can cook a little bit. I can bake some nice desserts and show how it's done.

I'm interested in foreign languages and improving my level in the ones I know.

I'm generally interested in learning about other people's experiences: travels, life, personal development, etc.
