About me

Three things I like
pizza, cake and coffee

My favourite English word
ligniperduous - We read this in a castle in Moravia somewhere and we had no idea what it meant. A quick look on the internet, we found out that it means 'wood-destroying'

My favourite Czech word
None - I really should try and learn more Czech instead of Slovak.

Something special about me
I once almost completed a hike through deep snow around Mt Taranaki (NZ) wearing hiking shorts.
