Interests

traveling, meeting new and interesting people, reading dancing, including fitness and afro, listening to good music. I also enjoy sitting at the small cafe in the open air and observe people, their emotions and actions. Sometimes, I wish, I had a camera with me to capture some of the unique moments-- smiles, laughter, tears...
Among the recent interests: cooking and having guests over to eat the food :) I am starting to get my specialties and food fans. Maybe, open a restaurant later?
