About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rester inspirée. :)

ABOUT ME

I like almost anything and everything under the sun-- reading (which i actually LOVE), meeting people from different cultures, cooking, learning languages, puppies, a dog sleeping in the sun, gardening, watching movies, an innocent smile, a stroll by the river or through the woods, a hurriedly made pasta, a Sunday afternoon siesta, the dancing shadows of leaves on my window... i could go on and on..!

Apart form this, I believe in gender equality and can fight for it for hours.

Anyway, enough of me.. what about you? :)

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna matata!!
