Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite movie, at the time, is Big Fish. I'm a big fan of Tim Burton's work, but also of Disney, Studio Ghibli, etc. Musically, I'm pretty much interested in anything. Though I grew up listening mostly to trash metal, my most played band at the moment is Eels :) My favourite book as of yet is Dead Souls by Nikolaj Gogol, but I'm a big Raymond E. Feist, George RR Martin and Terry Pratchett fan as well.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Mayan ruins in Guatemala!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm fluent in both English and Dutch, and play a little guitar. My knowledge of animation (specifically 3d Animation) and the history of it (and film history in general) are pretty extensive and I _love_ suggesting movies to people or watching them with people and see their reaction. Same with music :)
I'm interested in learning new languages myself, specifically Spanish and any form of Arabic. AND COOKING AND SKATEBOARDING. Though not entirely related to eachother I mention them because I love doing both of them, but hardly do them enough and aren't good at either! So there you go :3
Other than that, I'll gladly learn anything anyone has to offer me. I'm a very curious person :)
