About Me

I frequently eat things i know are bad for me. But you know what? I just don't care!

My Interests

I enjoy running and riding my bicycle. I also love to read. Mostly I read Sci-fi. But I do like the occasional non-fiction. Cooking is also a hobby of mine. I love to buy new cookbooks. Right now I am interested in Greek history. Hoplite fighting was crazy!

I'd like to meet:
