Interested in anything I find interesting ;) be it people, places, art, technology, science…

If I have free time on my own, I simply follow my current mood – sometimes a sudden idea to explore an interesting topic comes to my mind out of nowhere. Did you know, that the words "prostate" and "prostitution" have the same Greek origin? Or how did they install huge bells in cathedral towers let's say 700 years ago? Well, I also didn't until I looked it up :)

If I share my time with friends, I try not to waste it. Skiing? Great! Hiking, climbing? Awesome. Board games? Always. Laziness? No, it's beyond my abilities… Although I certainly can appreciate an interesting talk, simple chatting without clear purpose is rather not my thing. I always need a certain goal!

If I'm on a journey, I'm determined to get the most out of it. In such situations simple daily activities – eating, sleeping – are of little importance to me and I tend to sacrifice my comfort in order to have more time for things like sightseeing. After few months I hardly remember the inconveniences, somehow I only remember what is worth remembering :)

Music: "Lord of the Rings" soundtrack mixed with a roar of a motor while driving an old Land Rover across Tian Shan mountains towards a gold mine :)

Book? "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" read aloud in my severely damaged and barely standing tent during a hurricane in Ural mountains
