Interests

I'm a mad cinéfil, love good music, books, photography, pottery and anything creative and arty.
Could also classify as a shameless tree hugger, stone collector and mountain seeker, tramping in the wild charges my batteries (but I also enjoy exploring cities and historic sites), in general ... discovering new places, cultures, people, traditions and sharing experiences afterwards ...
Hanging out with friends - talking, drinking, thinking
Meeting new interesting and inspiring people.
