In my spare time, I enjoy tinkering with technology. I believe in open source software and I use it on a daily basis. I love hiking as well as kayaking. I like horror movies (although I confess that I never sleep afterwards) and science fiction. I am also a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino movies. I really like to travel and visit new places. I enjoy good food, especially if it is accompanied by good conversation.
