| Introduction | I like to experiment and experience. I try to live my life to its fullest, not missing any opportunity to get to know new people or to get involved in something creative. I am a science geek, skeptic bordering on cynic, observant, thoughtful, curious, opinionated (though often I keep my opinion to myself), both optimistic and realistic, extrovert and introvert. |
| Interests | Probably it would be easier to make a list of things in which I am not interested... In general: science, art, philosophy, politics, sociology, human behavior, culture, music, books, traveling, dancing, learning new things, cooking, eating out, sleeping in, wine tasting, thinking, analyzing, solving problems, writing, creating, watching and taking part in performances, getting to know new people, staying close to family and friends, movie watching, discussing, taking photos, dreaming. If something is not on this list, it does not mean that I am not interested in it. It probably means that so far I did not prioritize it high enough to devote too much time to it. But that might change... |
