About Me

CURRENT MISSION
ATTENTION! I'VE JUST GOT MARRIED AND MY HUSBAND IS STILL ADJUSTING TO THE CS IDEA ...SO HOSTING IS A BIT COMPLICATED AT THE MOMENT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. :(

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm an easygoing, fearless, friendly and fun girl. I love traveling, meeting new people, learning about new cultures, dancing! I'm a christian and that defines who I am.

I hate lies and I'm very sincere (sometimes too much). I love to enjoy life every second and, in Jesus, I have no limits. I'm also a dreamer! And very talkative...there is nothing I love the most as making new friends and traveling! One nice thing you should know (and there are references to confirm) is I DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL...I've never drunk and I honestly don't think I need...I was BORN DRUNK (meaning, talkative, laughing a lot, staying up all night dancing...stuff like that). I don't mind if you do, but I don't. Period.

I'm a very positive person...even a rainy day can be a nice adventure for me, as long as I'm with friends, alive, and you know...breathing! lol I like jokes, but I also am very serious when necessary...I may be a little too distracted at times, but I'm also willing to grow into a better person, open to learn new things, to admit my mistakes and change. A word to define me would be "dreamer"...yeah, I'm a dreamer and I fight for my dreams! I don't measure efforts to make my dreams come true and nothing is too hard or too impossible for me (believe me, I've traveled a lot, with almost no money in the wallet...) :)

I also believe in people, even though I've gotten hurt before. I believe people can change, and I'm open to forgive whoever, as long as the person is willing to change. I'm very sensitive and I get attached to people really easily...friendship for me is forever, under all circumnstances, near or far, in good or bad moments...almost like marriadge! lol meet me and you'll get your own opinion! I hate letting people down!

I also have a very active imagination...so, be careful when joking with me or saying weird things, cause I might believe you! What else? I love having people over and making people happy, cause I believe we should do to others what we'd like them to do to us...and that's it for now! I have a lot of nice stories to tell, so you better meet me, or you'll be reading my profile for the rest of your life! lol

God bless you!

PHILOSOPHY

€œPeople need to travel. By ourselves, not only through stories, pictures, books or TV. We need to travel for our own sake, to see the world with our own eyes and to walk on it with our own feet, in order to understand what is ours. We need to do that so we can plant our own trees and avoid taking them for granted. We need to experiment cold days in order to learn how to enjoy the warm days. And the opposite. We need to feel lonely and far so we can appreciate our own home. People need to travel to places that they don’t know in order to get rid of this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not only as it really is or can be. We need to travel so we can stop being professors or specialists of what we did NOT see, and become what we should have always been: students, learners, and simply go and see it. € Amyr Klink

No risk, no fun!

There's nothing impossible to God!

You only live once, so enjoy every moment of it!
