Music, Movies, and Books

Yes! Can't get enough of books, love to discover new writers. Same thing about music - cannot live in silence. Sometimes I like my music happy, sometimes more agressive or dark, mostly not the charts music. But a silly pop song will do it for me if my left foot feels like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with giant turtles in Sri-Lanka (floating next to these giants was surreal)
Orca diving in Norway (no comments :)
Hot air balloon trip in Yangshuo valley (China) amongst limestone rocks. Beautiful! For everyone who enjoys the high and rocky landscapes
