Interests

I like the company of interesting, open minded, optimistic, funny people who share my love for nature and the beautiful things in life and I love my family and friends, I love sunrises, rainbows, blue skies as well as snowstorms, butterflies, birds, cats and almost all animals. I enjoy growing my own vegetables, cooking and eating organic food, reading, listening to music, calligraphy, doing handicrafts and collecting proverbs. I am very grateful for all the good things that life has presented me with. It is essential for me to spend time on my own and to keep my mind clear and I try to avoid prejudiced people and miserable gossip. I don´t understand people who pollute the environment, who don´t care about animals suffering and live as if there was no tomorrow.
