CURRENT MISSION To meet new people and learn new recipes ABOUT ME I love travel and languages and cooking. I've been lucky to visit more than my fair share of places, but this has just made me want to see more! If I can't go there, then I want there to come to me - which is why I joined CS. PHILOSOPHY Take responsibility for your actions rather than looking for anyone/thing else to solve your problems.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English
