I like to get to know new places through the eyes of people who are in love with them. I value sincerity, curiosity, joyfulness and sense of humor. I love drawing, walking, dancing and live music, secluded places (both natural and urban), old towns with narrow streets and trams, spontaneous actions and surprising meetings... I love when all the tiny details of what surrounds you make the whole picture and fill everything with sense. I hope to learn pottery and horse riding someday and to see a lot of fireflies together.

I like to look at new places through the eyes of their inhabitants.
Music, Movies, and Books
I don`t stick to any genre or style, I just follow my curiosity and intuition and choose by my heart. And some recomendations of people I like, of course:) But there is a list of what touched me most... Music: Lisa Hannigan, Devandra Banhart, Sondre Lerche, Lamb, Red Snapper, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Alina Orlova, Emily Wells, Nina Simone, Yann Tiersen, some instrumental and electronic (Amon Tobin and so on). I like different music for different situations and mood, but not very heavy. Movies: most films of Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Richard Linklater, "Der Himmel über Berlin", some black and white movies; some TVs like "Peaky Blinders", "Stranger Things", "Taboo". And a lot more.. Books of: Max Frei, Tove Jansson, most of Umberto Eco, Knut Gamsun, Remark, plays of Thom Stoppard, early works of Pelevin, Haruki Murakami, Roger Zelyazny, Strugatskie br., Kurt Vonnegut...
Teach, Learn, Share
I like drawing, cooking, playing ukulele and learning languages. I was volunteering for a half of a year in Italy and Portugal and got acquainted with the culture and people a bit. So I can share all I know about the topics. We could draw each other or play music together.
