ABOUT ME

Hello,

I'm basically a calm person, and wish there was a lot more calm in the world. I would say I'm pretty outgoing these days, but definitely have moments of shyness and introversion. I love meeting new people, and need good people in my life, but I also need those quiet moments when there's nothing but yourself and some music, or a book, or silence.
At the moment I travel not so much. Sometimes I write; short blogs or stories. My favourite topics are human nature, love, philosophy and politics.
I'd like to think that I have a good sense of humour and am fairly open-minded, and up for most kinds of adventure. I'm not a vegetarian, I do eat all kinds of food, I do drink alcohol, I smoke cigarette and 'nargile' (sisha) and I totally don't mind those who do drink or not drink, smoke or not smoke, etc. So, I guess I like to pretentiously think I can recommend good "alternative" places to have a good time but I may happily go with the flow as well.

Interests

Actually, my ineterests are changing from time to time :) The things that doesn't change are, learning astrology, collecting and listening old LP's from all over the world, learning about ethnic cultures, writing about love and psychology, reading my favourite writers such as Lawrence Durrell, Umberto Eco, meeting new people. There might be some more but these are the ones that really grab my attention.
