ABOUT ME
Easy going, open-minded, curious. Interested in new languages and cultures, life stories.
People watching is my ultimate therapy.
PHILOSOPHY
'We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.'
I find human beings fascinating, with all their strength, weaknesses and paradoxes. I generally trust people (well... sometimes to the point of naivety).
I also believe that people's perception is their reality; Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or enter your appropriate cliche here).
