About Me

I'm non-conflict and vigorous person. Extraverted introvert. I can say I'm minimalist - don't need much to be happy. I love long walks and conversations. And the best is when those are combined.
I studied psychology because I wanted to find out how this multi-level creature called human works. I haven't found out yet but it's still fascinating.
Currently I work as a spanish teacher and a receptionist in a hotel. And I'm trying to get my masters' degree.
I believe that the best things that happen to us are unpredictable. I'ma bad organizer but I've learned how to deal with it.
I'm a hitchhiker and it gives me great memories, sense of freedom and faith in people's good will.
I read every day so if you're a reader too, we'll get on well :)
Recently I bought myself a harmonica and now I'm trying to play with better or worse effect, but it gives me a lot of pleasure!
