Overview
About Me
I am a useful person, with sense of humor, practical, I love traveling, meeting new people and cultures. I'm looking for people who can have a good laugh and a few drinks, have patience with my accent and rusty English.
Well, everyone says it's not easy to write about yourself, maybe what I write here don't define myself 100%
I'm a mom, I was married, I separated years ago and we continue with our lives.
I live well with my imperfections, I have a sense of humor, I'm practical and I'm not a morning person.
I'm not thin, I'm not fitness, here in Brazil people worship the body, I think you should do what you feel good.
I'm not a standard person, I don't wear what is fashionable, I only go to the mall to go to the movies and to the bookstore.
I don't dispense good food and beer with friends, I also love to cook. I love traveling, but I travel less than I would like, I like to get to know new cultures, stories and new people.
I think nowadays it's very lonely to live, you have all this technology, all these series and movies available to you, and we're here, wanting to connect with someone. I have learned that no one is perfect, that if you accept it, it is important for any type of relationship, be it casual or serious.
John Donne, said something like that '...no man is an island, every man is a piece of a continent, no one lives alone ..." but currently, it seems that isolation is necessary, and then I ask myself: To defend themselves from what?
I pray for love, happiness and kindness ... and I believe no one is obliged to anything.
My grandma said once time, that when they greet you, it is polite to greet you back! =)
