Social sciences are my passion! I'm interested in politics and philosophy. I think many things are debatable and could be good or bad after a long discussion. I adore poetry and occasionally write it. Movies have always been something I can talk hours about, but most importantly I have a serious addiction - theatre! I adore watching plays, then reading them and then reading reviews about the play in question, it's a whole ritual that I have..:) I’ve always liked art, although I graduated from music school and love to sing, occasionally play the piano, and dance when nobody’s watching. I never pursued it professionally or entirely seriously, it just stayed as a passionate hobby. I am also a debater, so talking to people in general has always interested me and now I volunteer at an emotional support hotline, thus empathy and understanding of each other I think comes quite naturally to me. I’m open and easy to talk to, I like to listen and learn new things, meet new people and I think profound discussions build strong relationships - that are in fact our whole life’s purpose:) That’s briefly about me, the rest... you'll be able to find out when we get to know each other!
