Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Be knowledgeable, healthy and happy
ABOUT ME
I am easy going with impeccably good manners (thanks to my strict upbringing)! I enjoy meeting new people in moderation and discovering more and more the precious natural world we live in. I love spending time outdoors and am exhilarated when walking or skiing in the mountains, swimming/diving/sailing/wind- surfing in lakes or the sea. Another important thing for me is to enjoy the company of pets or animals in general. I support animal welfare groups as I cannot bare the thought of them suffering at the hands of nasty humans.
PHILOSOPHY
Be kind and patient with all living creatures. Never stop learning or expanding your knowledge. Do your best for the community and the planet.
Interests
Apart from my list above, I enjoy the arts; so I enjoy painting (esp. watercolour) and playing the piano (I am teaching myself). Needless to say, visiting places of interest around the world is much appreciated.
