I once got smoke in my eye and didn't cry. Thought you should know.

Interessi

I spend as much time as I somehow can in the highlands, hiking and climbing. I am trying to get a bit more into urban exploring, so I am always excited about everybody that has advice on that. I am studying Politics, Economics and Central and Eastern European studies in Glasgow, so as most people in this beautiful town I spend too much time talking to strangers and friends in cafes and pubs. In Azerbaijan, where I am based right now I have been trying to get people into debating and have even taught a bit, but it is being a struggle. Since the mountains are a bit further away now I don't go as often as I would like to, but that means I have been working on my mulled wines, steaks and chillies.

Musica, film e libri

I wouldn't know an answer to any of these, because it is all so mood dependent. However, there certainly should be a list of honourable mention. I really enjoyed The Alchemist, The Brothers Karamazov and Berthold Brechts stories of Herr Keuner.

Mulan is the greatest movie of all time, but Whiplash and Pride were in my mind as well.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

A pint after a hike.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I really enjoy cooking, both for people and groups. As most of my friends and sibilings are rather aweful at it, I kind of had to work on my culinary skills, so I guess they are fairly decent by now. So, if you want a meal prepared when you come home, its no trouble for me, although making one together is normally more fun.

Otherwise I am sure sharing stories and a bottle of wine will make the stay worth it for both of us.
