About Me
ABOUT ME
Is there anybody out there who still cares that Pluto was degraded into dwarf planet? Do you know that strawberries were first bred in the 18th century? And that the real French wine you can find in Chile?
That's a good introduction to me. I consist of unimportant information, film reel and wine. I would like to ask for a refill of coffee in some American roadside café and hike in the Peruvian Andes. I really like green olives and beautiful (not necessarily green) bridges. I hate storms, wrong punctuation and spoilers. Sometimes I wish I was born in Scotland or in the 60s.
