About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Smiling

ABOUT ME

all about me? impossible. Some about me? Let's give it a go: Im a being absolutely in love with life, running after it, its chances, its open doors, its challenges, its gifts! I hate doing the dishes, but I love cooking. I love smiling, dancing, music is my passion, art, nature, good-deeds, making others happy...
Im an openminded person who loves meeting new people and sucking the marrow out of life...

...is it possible to define a person in a couple of lines?... Come visit and you´ll get to see!
=)

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to its max, for it is short... I want to be old and look back saying: "i laughed till my stomach hurt, i cried till ran out of tears, I loved with all my heart,soul,existance...i listened and made myself be heard, i dared to face my fears, I went camping and made fire without matches, I danced till my legs hurt and watched the sunset in several oceans... I LIVED!
