Music, Movies, and Books

-Music:

Right now I prefer listening to Techno (Berlin) and Synthwave simply because it allows me to concentrate on different tasks, but also to relax. Also, enjoy bands like Placebo and Rammstein. Basically I grew up listening to rock (mostly Placebo and The Rasmus), but into my 20s I started switching to more electronic music like techno (not what gets labeled as techno by the majority lol) and synthwave. On another note, classical music is pretty enjoyable.

-Movies:

I love movies with a deep story, plot twists and philosophical hidden meanings, some of my favorite movies are: Interstellar, Requiem for a Dream, The Shining, The Prestige, Gladiator, Departed, A Beautiful Mind, Fight Club, Memento, 3 Idiots, Shutter Island, The Usual Suspect and many more.

A few series I enjoy: WestWorld, Rick and Morty, BoJack Horseman, Chernobyl.

-Books:

Nowadays I am mostly reading (or listening to audiobooks) about self-development as it's what interests me most at this point in life, my top books about this topic would be: The Power of Habit, The Way of the Superior Man, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Man's Search for Meaning, The War of Art.
While on the other hand, I also have a favorite literature author, Herman Hesse, and I recommend Siddhartha and Steppenwolf. Both of the books touch on topics of existentialism and meaning of life. In my uneducated opinion, I'd say that Hesse captures the topic of existentialism better than Sartre himself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing I consider amazing and will never forget is hitchhiking through all the South Coastline of Albania, which is full of different beach types. I camped in different zones during this trip, apart from the beaches and sea, got to hike a lot (as the south of albania is pretty much where mountains meet the sea) and went on boat trips, discovering this way amazing untouched bays. Also, visited ancient Roman ruins. A very diverse experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic Albanian if you are intrigued by the less heard languages of the world.
I share with you basic knowledge on nutritional values and fitness workouts and how everything ties together.
I know how to code and design. Can share with you as much as I can about them, tips on how to get started or help out with concrete problems.
Ah, if you ever wanted to learn how to play chess, I can teach you that in a hopefully fun way.
We can also share meaningful conversations about anything.
