I love adventures, exploring new places and getting to know people. I prefer hidden gems and unique places with local character over crowded touristic spots, and deep conversations over shallow small talk.

On top of the interests listed below, I am curious about almost anything, so if you have something you're passionate about I'm sure we can keep the conversation going :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music -- my passion for music spans many genres, with most-listened to artists belonging to rock, electronica, jazz, some rap. Recently I've been on a sort of americana/blues bend. I appreciate some ethnic-inspired music as well, such as the Norwegian band Wardruna.

Movies -- my favorite films include Dead Man, Jordan Peele's horrors and Fight Club. Some recent films I've enjoyed were Everything Everywhere All At Once, Anora and Flow.

Books -- inter alia: The Way of the World (Nicolas Bouvier), The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Blindsight, Ender's Game, Waiting for Godot, Demian. The Discworld opus has a special place in my heart.
