About Me

I'm a calm, polite person. I'm not particularly quiet or shy, but I usually don't seek to be the center of attention. I'd rather listen and follow the conversation, and talk when I come up with something funny or interesting to say. A good place to start our conversation could be my exotic native country, where in Winter the sun doesn't rise, and temperatures often drop below -20*C...

CURRENT MISSION

-Start a new chapter in my life in London, UK.
-Learn to take more joy at the success and good fortune of others. I have a couple of friends, who are amazing at this, and they are a great fun to be around.

PHILOSOPHY

Yes, please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped a friend complete her thesis.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sunlight is often unflattering, as it makes people squint. Try to take a photo of your friend in shadow, or on an overcast day.

Never tell a bass player that "the guitar and bass are basically the same instrument" ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with cooking, or do the dishes. I'll clean after myself. I can take a good photo of you, and your family. Check out my portfolio at http://lyhyt.net/portfolio
