I'm passionately interested in history, especially Eastern European history.

When I'm not reading academic history books I'll be keeping fit. I was also once so good at skateboarding I taught it to US kids.I was also once so bad at skateboarding I broke one wrist three times.

I've also adopted a chinchilla house rabbit. His name's Douglas. He was abandoned as a baby, but I took him under my wing.
