About Me

AWAY

I'm away August 11-29 so unfortunately, I won't be able to host that time.

CURRENT MISSION

To make deep connections, to share unique experiences with people

ABOUT ME

I am a geeky person. I really like playing board games, socializing, playing team sports at amature level, cooking and drinking tea. I love to eat.

I love to teach to people that want to learn and also love to learn myself. I have studied math, Latin, a little German, linguistics, nutrition and computer science! Right now I'm learning music theory aside from working.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think that nothing is supposed to be in any specific way. I try to free myself from social conditioning and I also try not to judge others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like semi-old classics (when it comes to movies and books). I like Tarkovskij, Kieslowski, Kaurismäki.. When it comes to books I like Murakami and Dostojevskij.

I have kind of a bad taste in music, I like what they play on the commercial radio, but I also enjoy classical music (especially Bach and Beethoven) and other timeless awesome music, like the Beatles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen proof for that there are statements that can neither be proved nor disproved (and I am talking about real math here, not religion :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a lot about math and can show it in a new and beautiful way if would like to.
