I love to learn - new cultures, languages, recipes, ideas, stuff! I'm rather quiet and love to spend time alone, but I also highly enjoy tasting life surrounded by my gang of people. Always doing something and everything at the same time. Often creating (drawing, painting, writing, crafting). Mostly reading and studying what interests me. People watcher. Details no one sees. Capturing beauty through my camera, my eyes, my memory, and my writing.
