Add a pinch of climbing, a part of dancing, a tablespoon of pure craziness. Stir, don't shake. Serve with some distance.

This potion is known for it's characteristic, slightly bitter note that is washed away by fruity sweetness.

I graduated from masters program in cognitive science and am currently trying to figure out my next move. Update: I've actually realized I've got no idea what that should be. So I'll focus on finding out what I'd want it to be.

I sail. And I do all those little things like ice skating, juggling, swimming, dancing, traveling and figuring out how to learn all those things I'd like to do. Also: very recently I fell completely in love with climbing. Update: I've refreshed my feelings for bikes.

When I grow old, I'll buy a piece of land - something beautiful over the lake, in the middle of a forest, a motorcycle and a boat, I'll smoke a lot of weed and teach my friends' children lots of nasty things. Maybe I'll have a family of my own, but that's yet to be decided.

The six things I could never do without:
Jeans. Water. Wind. Hand lotions. Tooth brush. Books.

PHILOSOPHY

I've got no bloody idea why we're here on the planet called Earth, or why are we conscious. But since I can't find any reasonable explanation, I'm trying to enjoy simple pleasures like spending time with friends, appreciating a sunny day or a funny picture.
