ABOUT ME

I used to be a very free spirit. Then I did a PhD and became a nerd. Now I am free again. Freer than ever.

Interests

NOTE -- this is a few years old but will be updated soon. Admittedly, at the moment I spend my time mostly at my computer, trying to finish this bloody PhD. But I have lots of interests. I row three times a week, I cycle a lot, I play football in my university's department league, I swim, I read books (sometimes even those that are not related to my PhD), I have chosen to do a PhD in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, I listen to a lot of music and go to concerts, to the opera, to the cinema, I go to cafes and to pubs, even more happily if they play jazz, and of course I love to spend as much time as possible with friends. The one thing I didn't mention in here is my passion for travelling and exploring different cultures. I have lived in Germany, Ireland, England, Mexico and for two summers in the US (NJ), I speak English, German, French and Spanish and I must say I love languages very much. So that fills up the nutshell, as it were.
