Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: crime movies (especially the ones created by Guy Richie, they're funny as hell :p), David Zucker's comedies a la Naked Gun, films with Adriano Celentano and Christopher Nolan's films (2deep4me)
Music: can be any, honestly, but I prefer metal (heavy, groove, nu, whatever). Also I like Italian contemporary classical music, especially Ludovico Einaudi.
Books: American 20th century prose (Hemingway, Jack London, Dreiser etc.), Jules Verne's books, The Last of the Mohicans
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once I hitchhiked through Italian alps standing between a tractor and its wagon. A lot of people recorded me doing that on their phones, it's was a bit awkward and I hope I'm not viral somewhere in Italian youtube xD
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you:
- how to cook traditional Ukrainian and Polish soups
- Russian or Polish (not sure why would you want to put yourself through slavic grammar, but still xD)
- how to gain confidence in public speaking and to make your speeches/presentations more interesting
- how artificial intelligence works and why it won't kill us all in the nearest future
Learn: anything maybe except of natural sciences
What I Can Share with Hosts
- Cool stories from hitchhiking trips
