ABOUT ME

I live with my family (wife and 2 children) in an old flat, built in 1930 and placed in a green residential area, that we moved to some time ago and although it is still under renovation (it was in need of major renovation) and we used to live without internal doors for over 1 and a half year, we are really happy that we occupied it (it's big, spacious and bright, with a big balcony and a garden) and to share our luck we keep our doors open for everyone!

In day-to-day life my wife Ola cares for the garden, collects plants and old-polish-design second-hand furniture (1950s, 60s, 70s) and she would like to have even more children and some chickens someday (currently we have one cat - we used to have two but one has dissapeared) and I like to care for making our place attractive by inviting people, putting music on (carefully selected by me) and occasionally projecting movies on the wall in our living room (we don't have TV!).

In the meantime:
I am an extraordinary searcher for different perspectives,
I tend to contemplate the things I see too much, even for me,
I am a Linux enthusiastic user and I love to use my PC
(especially to keep in touch with people around me and all over the world),
and I have some nostalgic feelings to "romantic nihilists" ;)

Feel welcome!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending whole night with a friend on one Crimean hill (in Foros) at the foot of a huge rock with the Orthodox church on the top, just because we wanted to take a short cut and we got stuck in the forest - we believe to be the only people who left signs on that rock (you can find it in a small cave there).

Taking a morning bath in the nude (I didn't have clothes to change) in a cold Danish bay to the north of Copenhagen, after sleeping in a tent hidden on a beach, assisted by few old women that came along in the meantime.
