Free spirit with a penchant for the extraordinary.

I enjoy good conversations, good food and wine, interesting people and their unique views on life.

Plus, I like to connect people - maybe you're one of them!

PHILOSOPHY

As Einstein said: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

And Oscar Wilde: "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
