ABOUT ME

Taking life as a great adventure, seriously involved in everything worth while.
Professionally, I teach English in high school, translate and write frequency dictionaries.
I have PhD in Economics (research in cultural determinants of consumer behaviour).

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about living to the fullest, loving friends and family, being curious and finding answers, but mainly asking questions!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies...yes, I love it, to name but a few, though: Blade Runner, The Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Konopielka.
Music: Keith Jarrett, Miles Davis, Bonobo.
Books: are you kidding me? Thousands of books read, no way to pick...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ohhh, that's a hard one... climbing a Himalayan 6-thousender without a guide, but altogether with my wife (she was even faster than me). A 4-day climb got completed in 25 hours...that was preety crazy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Open-minded, tolerant, curious.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My optimism and curiosity. That's for starters.
