Always learning and exploring, looking for memories to write down, places to take great photos at, and, last but not the least, people to write letters to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music always depends on a mood.

As for books, that would be too many to list here. Yet I have a very intimate relationship with Stefan Zweig.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are a lot of interesting things I've done. Among the most recent ones: absolutely spontaneous public poetry improv with a friend by the Seine.

I also often find myself making bets with people. Among the most interesting ones that are running right now are the following:
1. My friend and I are competing on who is going to visit more countries in 15 years
2. My friend and I are supposed to get fluent in each others native languages (German & Russian), so we can compare the extent of artistic flexibility provided by them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn languages, find out more more about local traditions, and get secret recipes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some Russian, cook my signature curry, tell you fun stories, and write you a thank-you poem.
