CURRENT MISSION

To find some French friends!

ABOUT ME

Basically, I'm just a curious, young thing, trying to discover our lovely planet and not to fall into despair when I, as so often, think of all the places I haven't been able to visit yet. Due to the fact that one has to start somewhere, I decided to become a European volunteer in France. That's why I live in Burlats at the moment, a small village in the south.
I love meeting new people, especially when I can sit together with them for hours, just talk, drink some wine or beer and watch candles burn down or, in clear summer nights, the stars in the sky, while listening to Belle and Sebastian. I know, I'm a hopeless romantic. I can't help it. :)

PHILOSOPHY

“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”
(Jonathan Safran Foer- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)

Interesses

I love playing the guitar and singing along to it, and also playing the saxophone. I love music in general- discovering new bands and artists, listening to them on train rides while watching the fields, trees, lakes, mountains and cities pass by-, or visiting concerts and Festivals.
I'm in love with words as well, I like to write and read, in as many languages as possible.
I love to be outside, in parks, gardens or on balconies, and I especially like walking around flea markets for hours.
And I love painting- even though I'm not really talented or something. It calms me down and excites me at the same time.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I prefer the little things that happen in our everyday life. So many extraordinary things, I can't even list them.
