Overview
About Me
I chose to study Archaeology and learn Jewelry Making, so obviously ended up testing computer games, since I also tend to like computer games (sic!).
So, I love history and cultural heritage, and when traveling I focus mostly on historical monuments and variety of old architecture and art.
From traveling perspective I like long walks, both in urban and natural environments.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
I love soundtracks, musicals and overall orchestral music - including the classical ones. If I'm to choose two favorite composers, at the moment it would be Ennio Morricone and Christopher Tin.
Other than that, I love wide category of 60s-80s music. I'm in love with so called classical rock, which I use to call "soundtrack for Vietnam War".
On top of that I like to sing abovementioned pieces on karaoke nights.
Movie:
Movies is a hard category to describe. There is no particular genre I like the most. But Leonardo Di Caprio tends to play in many movies I like, and Martin Scorsese tends to direct many of them - coincidence?
To randomly name a few movies, different from each other, I'll choose: Inception, Slumdog millionaire, Agora, Butterfly Effect, A few dollars more, 12 angry men, Lion King, Lotr: Fellowship of the Ring, Blues Brothers, Forrest Gump, The Game, Le Planete Sauvage.
Other than that, studio Ghibli anime movies are awesome.
Book:
I read mostly fantasy and history books. My favorite authors are (the list starts really original *eyeroll*):
John R. R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, Glenn Cook, Carlos R. Zafon, Frank Herbert. Funny observation - it appears that if the author has a second name starting with R he is potentially an awesome writer. Other than that of course that I like Harry Potter.
Comic:
I was raised on Asterix series - I have full collection except heresy featuring aliens (sic!). If I were influenced the most by one work of art, it is by Don Rosa's Life and times of Scrooge Mc Duck.
Generally I prefer franco-belgian comic and manga over american one - I do not touch superhero ones.
