About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life outside the box!

ABOUT ME

I'm an idealist and an activist who always fights for the underdogs. I love to learn and get to know new people and new places.

I love languages!! (I work as editor of a dictionary.) When I'm not working, I eat olives and cheese. I travel almost always with my boyfriend Odin who makes sure that our trips are somewhat different than ordinary.

Oh, yes! I live with my boyfriend! We are both vegetarians.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is nothing without laughter:)
