ABOUT ME

I guess the words people usually use to describe me are: quirky, spontaneous, open minded, crazy. I think being ordinary is overrated. I am addicted to caffeine, gum and eclipse mints. I drink a lot of tea. I love laughing till it hurts. I like to dance. New ideas excite me. I like trying new foods and experimenting with the unconventional. I think everyone has something to say, to share. We are only on this planet for a short while -- the best thing is to experience as much of it as we can.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's not fun, it's not worth doing.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, rather it's the fight in the dog. ;)

Insegna, impara, condividi

Teach: I can show you how to make an awesome quiche or to cook rice in a microwave. I like sharing my passions, which include dancing, spicy food, foreign films and alternative music.In return, I may practice one of the languages I am learning on you. Hopefully you'll survive unscathed :PI like to learn about other cultures. I love travel stories and people with that joie de vivre.
