About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't panic

ABOUT ME

I like to travel alone. I'm not a loner, but I like to explore this way and have freedom to do what I want and notice things more. I live in Prague for six years. And yes, I like that I live here;)

PHILOSOPHY

"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

-Kurt Vonnegut's uncle

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Talking Heads. Ramones. Elvis Costello. The Supremes. Al Green. James Brown. Cut Copy. The Whitest Boy Alive. Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Sufjan Stevens. Zola Jesus. The National. Shout Out Louds. And more.

Books: anything by Vonnegut. Irving: Setting Free the Bears. Robins: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Remarque: A Night in Lisbon. Leary: High Priest. Huxley: Island. Atwood: The Handmaiden's Tale. Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo. And more.

Movies: I like to watch documentaries, queer cinema, and go to little film festivals. I really like the experience of seeing a movie on the big screen (maybe it has to do with my American upbringing;).
