Last year I was traveling a lot and decided to try some new ways for exploring different countries and cultures through communication with local people.

Favorite directors — Alexander Sokurov and Xavier Dolan. At the moment my favorite books are by Orhan Pamuk. I listen different sorts of music from contemporary jazz and soul (my favorite are Tomasz Stanko and Sidsel Endresen) to classical music. Especially I love opera and its stage interpretation by contemporary directors.
