ABOUT ME

I am very curious, talkative and open minded. I am very honest, maybe too much sometimes.
I have very little spare time in which I try to fit all my various interests (sports, travel and especially friends).
I enjoy going out (as a former party girl), but also spending quality time with interesting people or with a good book while sipping a cup of tea (ok, that sounds like a grandma).

PHILOSOPHY

il faut regarder toute la vie avec des yeux d'enfant
