Hello, my friends and family would describe me as generous, honest and dependable. I would agree but would add that I am curious about people and the world, I find learning about culture and languages endlessly interesting, I think the simple things in life are the best and I think we can all makes a positive difference in the world, no matter how humble that may be.
