About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Get to know new people. Listen to music. Live voraciously!

ABOUT ME

I'm wildly enthusiastic, interested in people's stories and what they're all about, open, optimistic, talkative and passionate; I love (vegetarian) food and I tend to sometimes express my joy like a 5 year old when I see something that amazes me like a fountain, rainbow, city lights, doctor Who reference or a violin; I love doing things spontaneously and RIGHT NOW instead of planning them in advance; I'm a bare footer and proud; I also love driving and biking.

PHILOSOPHY

be nice;
stay at peace with yourself and others;
do, see and experience as much as possible;
find something that makes you happy;
communicate :-)
