I'm an academic mathematician (PhD) who also happens to know a lot about quantum physics and programming. Recent work on house renovation confirmed that I have a predominantly abstract mind :) Besides that I have many fluctuating interests, mostly related to arts and body/movement. Playing bass in a punk band, lots of dancing (Contact Improvisation, contemporary, salsa), martial arts, literature, theatre (esp. in the spirit of Jerzy Grotowski), traditional singing (Balkan & Ukrainian polyphony). Mountains, dreams, strange worlds. I've been learning fascial massage recently and can offer you a session. Meditation and body-oriented psychotherapy. I hate boredom and try to live creatively. I'm more on the introverted side and value deep and open conversations. If we meet, it's likely we'll spend some evening with cups of tea talking about our inner and outer lives. Or dancing / singing. I believe in getting to know people by mountain hiking or doing weird stuff together :)
