ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, open person, I love to be around people and learn from them. I love new experiences, and I'm easily entertained, simple things make me happy.Sometimes I can be a little shy but generally I get over that pretty quickly. I have quite a sarcastic/dry sense of humour and I tend to make fun of people, it's a sign of affection!

PHILOSOPHY

appreciate today and 'it'll all be fine'
