ABOUT ME
I've just finished my Bachelor in Landscape Ecology and Nature Conservation, am open-minded and always prepared for a laugh, I live in a community with about 26 other people, and try to travel as often as I can, mainly hitch-hiking or at least without using a plane (which is a lie because I recently flew to Kyrgyzstan...bloody airmiles...)...
I love the great outdoors, especially mountains, but even the Baltic Sea and its flat surroundings can be wonderfully engrossing...
I love sheer silence, when a gentle pressure on the ears makes them feel as if they were stuffed with cotton balls...
...and then again I like the hustle and bustle of my life with all the people around me, nagging, shouting, screaming, laughing and just being the way they are!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
not fantastic, however very impressive: during our excursion to Uzbekistan we visited the city of Mo'ynok, a former seaport. The ship-graveyard there was distressing; evidence fo a disastrous ecological catastrophy. Two years later I also got to see the remains of the Aral Sea when we flew over t during the day. On the sam trip we saw hug glaciers from above in Georgia and got to hear jackals by night...
