About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple girl, communicative, easygoing and I Iove to laugh. To see the world, to taste different cultures and to share them with others, this is my 'mission'. I am spontaneous, happy with sweet little things, given by life. Addicted to cozy winter evenings, long chats with lots of coffee, going in the nature and just being myself ... with or without others.

PHILOSOPHY

Home is where your heart is.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - all music, preferable old, rock and crazy disco fever - I grow up listening the Abba :D

Movies - I prefer comedies and artistic european movies, not the globalized and commercialized ones, I love movies that impress, I also love to attend movie festivals (Liffe in Slovenia is one of my favourites)

Books - my teenage 'book idol' was Mary Higgins Clark, but I read a lot and I read different things. I love going to library, book stores, book markets and book antikvariats. I love realistic books that you can't stop reading the whole in few days and make you think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am happy that every time I fail, I am becoming better and braver. I am happy that I am able to think out of the box. I am happy that I am independent and can handle myself wherever I go.

I had amazing memories of our "rebel party" in Turkey, getting a fake ID in England, getting lost in Amsterdam over and over again and eating Dutch waffels, ridding camel and smoking water-pipe out of watermellon, halloween weekend spent in Dublin, drinking heads-off expensive coffee on The New York Times's roof, sleeping in a typical American campus and seeing sorority houses just like from the movies in Peoria, meeting crazy-Slovenia-lover in a shoe store in Chicago, eating dumpling soup in the "B" restaurant in Chinatown, eating best foccacia on the world in cute little stoned walley Basilicata in south Italy, living and falling in love over and over again with Finland, lost a shoe in Loire river, Paris, following and driving after a car because of the snowstorm in Bratislava, Christmas markets in Salzubrg, Austria, picking tomatoes and watermelons from the ground in Macedonia, getting lots of cheep food in Riga, after living for few months in Finland,impressed by Russian state of mind, experienced the Helsinki-Tallinn farry, swimming no matter the ourside temperature, doing icefishing and chatching the fake fish, able to understand Finnish language and its language jokes, salmiakki icecream, Vappu, finnish mökki ... and I am sure there is more! :)
