Music, Movies, and Books

They include among others the books of Torey Hayden, Jean Sassoon(Princess series), Kim Huyn Hee(The Tears of My Soul), Waris Dirie(Desert Flower), Betty Schimmel(To See You Again) and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Also I like historical stories from Jean M. Untinen-Auel and Sue Harrison.

My favorite movies are Amelie, Forrest Gump, The Illusionist, Léon, Schindler's List, The Bridges of Madison County, The Shawshank Redemption, 28 Days Later, Rambos, Ice Ages, V for Vendetta, Bloody Sunday, Sex and the City, A Beautiful Mind, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Downfall, Kill Bills, Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Yes Man.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Small old village in Iran with an original lifestyle, jungle and indigenous people in India, Niagara falls. All amazing ppl I have met. I love trains really much and have done 10 Interrail trips as well as traveled in India by Indian Railways. I prefer normally non-touristic destinations off the beaten track.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to spend time with different people to learn from them the whole scale of views and aspects that this world has to offer. I think it also helps me to find my way in this world and to adopt things that I find good and useful from others. I hope that also I could offer the same.
