CURRENT MISSION

Ride horses long distances

ABOUT ME

I like learning languages, music, noise and silence. Music is always an option when there is no other way to communicate (but that is very rare).

More practical interests are baking bread, brewing beer, any type of fermentation really, building, and growing gardens. I like to be outside and sleep outside. So I try to extend my summer as long as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Man can be as free and happy as he wants because there is nothing to lose and nothing to gain.

Interests

Learning new languages. Traveling. Learning and playing music. Metalworking. Theater. Building things. Culture as a phenomenon. Watching people. Barefoot rock climbing.
