About Me

Physics is love!

ABOUT ME
I only communicate with 190 cm tall, green eyed, left handed, 37 year old women. So I don't surf with or host anyone who doesn't fit in this description.
Joking, of course.
I find more and more people here demanding me to give an explanation why I want exactly him/her to host me. I don't want to meet fascists or narrow minded people, that's my only criteria. If I find you interesting, I'll send you a request, but see no sense in rewriting half of the stuff you wrote on your profile. I like people who share my interests. Also ones who don't.
Also, as I take my time to read your profile carefully, and much more time to write a decent request to you, I think you can have the decency to write "sorry, can't host you" if you're declining. I don't need an explanation, but all the "friendly, open minded, love people" stuff sounds so fake after I see you didn't bother to do more than click "decline". I'm not a computer, I'm a human being. Write a message, it's polite. Thank you.

I'm a physics teacher, in love with physics, and my holy mission is to make other people love it, too. This mission wasn't very succesful til now, but I don't give up that easily. Hehe, be aware!
Also, I'm in love with my beautiful country, and it's capital, my hometown, Zagreb.

I like planning stuff, especially trips, and I really don't like being too spontaneus about it. Trips, I mean. That's why I have my other half being just the opposite, to keep the balance :)
Love cooking, and exchanging recipes.
Love people, think there's something good about everyone, and hate people being insensitive and arrogant because "everyone's mean, and if I don't do it to them, they'll do it to me".
Obviously, love travelling.
Like to talk. A lot.
Love animals, but don't feel very comfortable around them. :/ don't know why,but it has always been this way (although I was always surrounded with lots of animals). I'm cynophobic, but dealing with it, one small step at the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depeche Mode, Placebo, Muse...

What the hell, there's no point making a list, there are no strict rules in what I like.
Well, ok, I can't stand R'n'b, hip-hop, or balkan turbo folk.

I don't like horrors nor romantic comedies (I only watch r.c. during exams, to let my brain rest for a while).

But again, no rules, no rules.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing too exciting, my life is boring :)

Well, maybe swimming in a swamp in Lithuania, surviving a beer in communistic bar in Slovakia, or driving a buldozer in Croatia :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach physics :D but only if you want it. Also, some basics of croatian language, and if you like cooking, I can share some great traditional recipes. And I'm willing to learn anything new and interesting.
