About Me
Boring but quite difficult and complicated person who does NOT like alcohols, smoking, drugs, partying, drunk people, swearing, any wings of political or religious extreism, noise, crowds, hot weather, rap "music", queueing, waking up early, smart phones, being in photos etc. and I'm also very narrow-minded in some topics. No, I'm not usually grumpy. People have preferences and like different things. Probably most people here wouldn't like to know people like me. However, if you do and we also have some common interests, it's very likely that I would like to know you :)
I like travelling and many things but most of my free time I spend sitting in my room staring at my computer. Sometimes I go to the city for a walk, to cinema, to some concert or just to sit in some cafeteria for a while.
I would prefer healthy lifestyle in general but I can't resist chocolate, cakes and ice cream. I like peace, freedom, respect and silence. I prefer empty restaurants and cafeterias instead of crowded and noisy ones. Small and unknown places as travel destinations over popular and touristic ones. Noise is quite ok in rock concerts, not elsewhere. According to some test in internet I'm INFP or ISTJ depending on the test.
I'm not very sociable or talkative in general but it woud be really nice to find interesting people wiith similar interests. With such people it's usually very pleasent to discuss about anything. However, I'm not very initiative when it comes to talking to new people. If you are still interested after reading this profile, feel free to send me a message :)

Requests
I prefer you to contact me first if you are interested. I think that way it's more likely that we would get along in long term.
Also I like to read people's profiles and would appreciate if you read mine too before deciding to contact me.
"Where you're from" and "what's your name" questions hurt my feelings and I won't respond anything.
To "hi" messages I may respond sometimes "hi" but mostly nothing.
"How are you" "how r u" and other random letter combinations: I'm always fine and not interested in telling details to every random person in the first message, so no need to ask, thanks.
"What are you doing" messages: Obviously I'm sitting by my computer and bored enough if I even read such a message. Otherwise, I'm busy doing something else.
If you like to block for not receiving a response in a few days (or weeks or months), please don't bother at all.
On the other hand, I'm very disappointed when my messages, especially lengthy ones, are not even opened. Well, in that case I would like to block them too (or cast a spell on them to turn them to stones), but I guess it wouldn't make them read my messages anyway...

Language Exchange Requests
I'm not looking for teachers here but of course it would be nice to communicate with native speakers and occasionally throw some lines especially in Czech/Slovak/Polish/Hungarian. It would be nice to try a bit in Swedish too. I can understand a little German and French too but I haven't learned them actively for ages. I can try to help you with Finnish, but I'm not linguistic.
Hobbies & Interests
I like to travel especially in Eastern, Central and Northern Europe whenever I have a possibility for it. Especially I'm fond of Slavic, Baltic, Finno-Ugric and Germanic countries. Ireland and UK are interesting for me too. However, I don't like flying much but prefer travelling by trains, buses and ferries if possible.
I'm a fan of many kind of music (mostly rock and metal but a lot of else as well). I like to go to concerts and I have quite a huge collection of CD's.
I like also history, nature, quizzes, genealogy, playing games such as Hattrick and SongPop, some slow sports like walking and sometimes (cross-country) skiing, good movies, eurobilltracking, good food, coffee and tea.

Favorite Movies
Too many. Especially historical movies, bibliographies and other movies based on true stories. Also some fantasy or otherwise strange movies and other movies with good story making you think or feel something. Not to forget musicals and other movies with good music.
I like to watch movies in cinema but sometimes I watch dvd's too. Besides American movies I enjoy very much also European movies especially Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, etc. and of course Finnish.

Favorite TV Shows
I used to watch a lot of TV as a kid but then didn't even have TV for 14 years until I finally bought one some years ago. Nowadays I mainly just watch almost whatever happens to be there.
Favorite Books
I'm too lazy to read but I read some classics in the past.
