About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve my dutch and start a new life!

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Buenos Aires my entire life.
I got 2 degrees at University (1.- Accounting and 2.- Business Administration) but I don´t like none of them very much.
I would rather be Egyptologist, cause I'm really passionate about arebic countries (specially Egypt)! That's why I started bellydancing 10 years ago!
I love to travel; i used to do it alone, now i've discovered that i adore to travel with my boyfriend.
I've studied almost everything, but just for couple of months: languages, sports, sailing, painting, cooking, etc.

I'm a vegetarian, but I don't care if someone is having some meat right by my seat. It's just fine. I love indian food very much, but not too spicy! I almost hate oily food! If I were asked to choose one only meal to have every day for the rest of my life... that would be just CHEESE (every type of cheese!!)
I quit smoking in July, 2004 and i absolutely love argentine Malbec!

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave!

Particularly interested in tradicional african dances.
Love to solve real jigsaw puzzles (not on line ones), I like better those bigger than 1500 pieces! :-)
Love plants: I have quite a few in my balcony and within my livingroom, kitchen, bathroom and so on...
