ABOUT ME
++ Just recently came back to Melbourne after 4 years in Europe
++ Spontaneous little creature who just wants to explore new places, new people and new cultures.
++ Left to go to Krakow for a GAP year as a volunteer to work in a Blind School. Fell deeply in love with the city and the people and ended up staying for 4 years.
++ My favourite part of a muffin is the top.
++ Buy books. Collect books. Read books. And yet I still don't have enough books.
++ I always hit the snooze button when my alarm goes off
++ Yes, I know it's childish but I like jumping in puddles, rolling down hills and blowing bubbles in my drinks
++ I am usually running late
++ Although I am usually running late, you wouldn't guess it by the way I speedwalk down the street
++ Love to laugh.I always see the funny things of life.
++ I like to write lists. Lists of places to visit, things to do, things to what..I could go on and on
++ I am ridiculously clumsy. I trip over all the time...up the stairs and down the stairs. Knock into people, chairs, tables and walls
* These things may change every once in a while.
PHILOSOPHY
We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we've entered and swum up like rivers, fears we've hidden in as if caves. I want all this marked on my body. I believe in such cartography, not boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. All I desire is to be carried out to the Palace of Winds. That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you. With friends, on an earth without maps.
(Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient)
