I enjoy traveling, history, cinema, good food and learning about everyday life in different cultures. Before visiting a place, I often research its history, traditions and local character, because it makes the trip much more meaningful. I also enjoy getting to know people from different parts of the world and hearing about places through someone who actually lives there. In the near future I would especially love to visit Japan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and French Polynesia, among many other places.
