I like to get to know new places through the eyes of people who are in love with them. I value sincerity, curiosity, joyfulness and sense of humor.
I love drawing, walking, dancing and live music, secluded places (both natural and urban), old towns with narrow streets and trams, spontaneous actions and surprising meetings... I love when all the tiny details of what surrounds you make the whole picture and fill everything with sense.
I hope to learn pottery and horse riding someday and to see a lot of fireflies together.

Music: Lisa Hannigan, Devandra Banhart, Sondre Lerche, Lamb, Red Snapper, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Alina Orlova, Emily Wells, Nina Simone, Yann Tiersen, some instrumental and electronic (Amon Tobin and so on). I like different music for different situations and mood, but not very heavy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like drawing, cooking, playing ukulele and learning languages. I was volunteering for a half of a year in Italy and Portugal and got acquainted with the culture and people a bit. So I can share all I know about the topics. We could draw each other or play music together.
