ABOUT ME
I enjoy hanging out and blending in with folks who live in natural and easy-going places around the world.. Discovering new towns (preferably untouched by soulless corporations), learning about age-old traditions and being positively moved by experiences is what I love.. Chatting and laughing, a glass of vino rosso with a great plate of pasta amongst friends and family is happiness for me.. I love passionate individuals.. love people who perform or entertain for a living, and people who practice traditional art, spirituality and rituals.
I love history also, just to name a few of my interests .. oh, and Jesus is the greatest . If only the world took his teachings and instructions more seriously.

PHILOSOPHY
"In the dark we are all the same.
Don't let your eyes deceive you."
