ABOUT ME
It's difficult to portray oneself so it's better to search for what other people thinks about you.
I'm interesting in interesting people, someone who have something special to offer and who would like something different to receive.
Interests
I like to cook. I love art, culture, architecture, science, opera, theater, classic music... and interesting people.
