Music, Movies, and Books

I always pick a movie according to my mood and country of origin. So yeah, would always like to watch something scandinavian, bosnian/serbian/croatian, romanian, russian, asian. Some independent movies could also come from the Czech Rep. US, France and the likes. I decided never to have a TV. Yeah a cliché?! Lets all live this one!

I read a lot of books on typography and graphic design. Then I like books on history and politics. Among fiction books I loved was: Kundera, Hrabal, Fuentes, Steinbeck... and of course those oldschool russian dudes Tolstoj, Dostojevskij...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided what to do and what not in my life. Thats not easy, really:-D

Teach, Learn, Share

I work mostly for NGOs, environmental, social or human rights nonprofits. I am now on the mission of helping out these subjects with branding and design. I can offer consultancy and some of my experiences and sure a little bit of my creative touch.

I just got a new ukulele and it sounds so great. So a little bit of jamming is allright. Nothing really pro though.:-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends: Mostly all those neat stuff like bed, linen, internet, food, shower, laundry, a little tomcat to cuddle, trips around, sofisticated fun:-)
