CURRENT MISSION

Travel every country I know of

ABOUT ME

That is a tough question... all about me - in a few sentences... however I will try.

Actually I love to get to know new people and I have a passion for travelling. Anything anyone spends time with is interesting for me. Though I am not very talented regarding arts, art and music inspire me. With writing I am more skilled, but I only write, when I am pushed to it ^_^. Thus I like to write essays or term papers at the university. I enjoy reading. Dostojewski is an author I like a lot (I read "Crime and Punishment" [even in Russian :D] and "Insulted and Injured", both were great!). Recently I am reading criminal suspense.

Now I just got started, but I don´t wanna bore you, so just contact me - I will be glad to tell you more about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life as I like, respecting others while expressing myself

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... I listen to a lot of music - rock, oldies, classical, sometimes pop :P. It is, however, not possible to pin myself down to one particular style of music, as I really listen to a great variety of music ;).

The same can be told about movies, some of my favorite movies are Equilibrium, Chocolate, From Hell, ... but I love to watch all kinds of movies and am always happy to go to cinemas all around the world.

Books... as mentioned above, at the moment I read contemporary English literature like Tayor and Follet. I plan to start reading Russian literature, though yet I could not motivate myself...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am totally amazed by the Russian hospitality and the general openness of the people (to all skeptics: I am aware of the fact that this might well be connected to the fact that I am a foreigner ;)). If you wanna know more, just ask me - I have loads of anecdotes to tell :D.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study linguistics and have some experience as a teacher of English, thus I could teach German and English.
I play lots of card games and I love to teach them to other people (poker, canasta, romme, durak, ...)
I learn to teach writing (sounds silly, but its a nice thing)
I love to read things someone wrote (essays, homework, etc.) and I love to share things I wrote
I wanna learn whatever you have to offer, just talking in English or Russian already means a great deal to me, as I adore both languages.
