Music, Movies, and Books

I have my own record player and I love playing oldies, especially nostalgic music. Some of my all time favourites are Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Mazzy Star and Elliot Smith. If you visit me and want to listen to your favourite vinyl, bring it with you and we can enjoy it together 😉

When it comes to reading I love myself a mix of fiction and non fiction. Recently I've been diving into the world philosophy. Im also trying to read some classic novels like 1984 and Lollita. My latest read was Slaughterhouse 5, which I thought to be an amzing novel. I do have the bad habit of buying interesting books constantly but not having time to read them, which results in big stacks of unread books 😂

I love visiting the arthouse cinema and do so at least a few times a month. For me a movie should provoke a feeling or thought. Movies about existentialism, societal phenomenons or cultural norms are especially fascinating to me. Some examples of movies I've seen recently and had a big impact on me are: Close, Cold War, Parasite, Festen, Nomadland, Triangle of Sadness and Women Talking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen unhappy people change into happy people

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me anything about your culture or what you learned in life and I'll try to teach you some of my culture or life philosophy. I'm an open-minded person so basically up for learning and discussing anything.
