About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Loving life: accepting, forgiving, exploring and creating.
ABOUT ME
I'm energetic, open minded, and very very curious! I love to laugh and appreciate a good sense of humor! Bring on the crazy conversations and we'll have fun! ;)
As all of you will agree with me, traveling is one of the best things in life, meeting people, learning about different cultures, discovering new places, new smells, new foods... I'll never get enough of it!
I'm a person who's very last minute with everything. I'm not good at meticulously planning things ahead, which is fine by me, it keeps life exciting and full of surprises. :) Call it chaotic or impulsive, I just love last minute crazy ideas and bringing them to life.
I love animals, I have an adorable puppy named Zoey and I love her so much! Being a good friend is a priority and I always try to be there when you need me. To achieve a smile on a persons face is one of the best things there is!
My social life isn't like a tight social circle.. I try to keep it as open as possible. I meet friends by talking to strangers of all ages and anywhere I go.. the maintenance guy, the cleaning lady, the coffee shop cashier, the waiter on break smoking a cigarette, the Dobie cook that has lived in the US 20 yrs but still doesn't know fluent English bc he hasn't made any American friends. Ppl can have so much to share if you only give them a few seconds.. there is so much to learn in everyone around you.. just open up your senses and start soaking it all up!!
I'm able to enjoy the small things in life, and I'm very happy for that. I can get crazy enthusiastic about the tiniest little things. I'm a dreamer and have an endless fantasies! And I love it! :)
There's so much more to tell, but I guess the only way to really get to know about a person is to meet the person for real.
Oh, and guys, may I please remind you: THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE SO PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME BY SENDING THESE KIND OF MAILS!!! Thank you. :)
PHILOSOPHY
This is where you have to write down the most beautiful words and sayings. I won't, I'll keep it very simple. Because my philosophies are very simple. I'm trying to live my life the way I think is right. I try that by treating everyone and everything with respect. Love and care about the things and people around you. You have to give a little to get a little. Be open minded, helpful, honest and friendly and most important: don't forget to laugh!! :)
Don't be afraid to take risks and do the things you want to do, after all most of the time it's worse to regret something you didn't do than to regret something you did do. We learn from mistakes and wondering "what if..." is the worst!!!
Enjoy life, don't make it too difficult for yourself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Everything can be... I like walking in the rain in the unknown direction, dancing, reading, watching films, listening, singing with an awful voice, traveling, music, skiing, meeting people, art, day dreaming, animals, blowing soap bubbles, laughing, and my adorable German Shorthaired Pointer doggies, Bailey and Zoey!
Teach, Learn, Share
