I prefer staying with people to staying in hotels. Although I am 'old' in terms of age I don't feel like that. So I don't behave like that either! I love meeting people, offer hospitality - maybe I can host travellers from around the world. I am really busy working and travelling myself, so forgive me if I am not available all the time.

Music: too many. From classical to contemporary (all the B's: Bach, Brahms, Bartók, and on... Chopin, Mozart, Nyman, Reich etc.) to World music (North African, Latin, Indian) Coldplay, Beatles, Cohen, some jazz too. movies: absolute favourite is Antonioni's Blowing Up. It's the symbol of what I do all my life: look at things closely and explore the meaning. I love Wajda and the Czech movies in general. Last Tango in Paris. Melancholy.
