About Me

CURRENT MISSION

we're keen to meet people of different nationalities

ABOUT ME

I always was curious to have contact with other nationalities, so I married a Swiss-Brit who comes from Jersey, GB. I "sent" my sons to Brazil and to the Far East. Our daughters are in Italy just now! So we have room available for more people! I think in Finnish, learned Swedish at school, and studied French at the Helsinki and Geneva universities. I need German and English every day, so I'm learning Portuguese!

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is simple: Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so!
I want to love other people - and notice the weaker ones.
