Music, Movies, and Books
I prefer thoughtprovoking, "slow" movies instead of those with action and explosions.
When it comes to music, every kind of it has it's own moments, but if I had to name a band, I especially like The Beatles. Update in 2019: if I had to loop one album for the rest of my life, it would be the soundtrack of Demain by Fredrika Stahl!
Usually I read what others recommend, so feel free to give me a tip! :) Some favourites: Riad Sattouf's 'Arabe du futur', Yaa Gyasi's 'Homecoming', Michael Ende's 'Momo', Dalton Trumbo's 'Johnny Got His Gun', and all Politkovskaya articles/essays.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A two-pound courgette. I saw it grow.
Teach, Learn, Share
Languages I cannot know many enough. Getting a taste of lifestyles, visions and opinions is what interests me. I can teach you bake a lovely apple pie and read you poems.
What I Can Share with Hosts
All my cooking skills (not much, but decent!) and long, complex jokes. If you want to learn Finnish or Hungarian, that can be arranged too, but I cannot recommend it...

Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
Countries I’ve Lived In
