I'm passionate about
I love crocheting and knitting and making sth from nothing :D wandering around is my old passion, but I don't have time to do so often... Shanties and hiking tours are my interests too :)
An idea worth spreading
Ubiquitous eco-living, taking care not to pollute our world, our small country, noticing the importance of nature around us and its observation apart from the busy world - it is a great idea!
Ecology, eco-food - but not that "processed and from abroad" - food from our neihgbourhood and our garden...
I am still wondering what to do with so many waste products - I am doing my PhD thesis about food waste and its compression into useful things.
Areas of expertise
Agricultural Engineering, consumer sciences, Ecology, Food Technology, material engineering
The TED story
Friends are the best rource of everything! I met with my friend that I haven't seen for long time and that's happend :) I've get to know that sth like Ted.com exist and I've started to watch it with my boyfriend ;) My dream is to take part in some of Ted conferences some day, when I will be a very good experienced scientist :D
