FACTS ABOUT ME • I live 10 mins by bus from Train Main station Bern • calm, and a good listener. Sometimes too loud :P Love irony and sarcasm • don't like people who don't say their opinion • I was CS Country Ambassador, that's why there's lots of Info on my profile • I don't watch TV or Netflix or drink beer, wine, or coffee.
