ABOUT ME

Something about me: Well, to be honest I actually believe that people are always something more and something less than they think they are. That's why I don't like to define myself. Words and people are both so ambiguous and multi-dimensional. But... I want to see the world. And I'm the most interested in the countries of the north side of earth ("rugged" beauty and not too warm climate, you know). I like to get to know new people, do and learn things, which I haven't done before. I enjoy spending time in nature (have lived most of my life in the countryside). Watching movies (especially dramas)is always a good way to spend time, like reading and listening to music too. By nature I might be a little shy at first, but I get along with everybody. Sometimes I just need a bit of time to get used to new situations, that's all. :) I'm not all night party type, but if you want to go out for a beer, I'm in. And I love board games, of course.

PHILOSOPHY

One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.
