ABOUT ME

Hi Everyone,
Well My name is Mama.
Sounds weird but this is my real first name and I love it. UNIQUE and ORIGINAL like me ;p

What about me?
Do not know what to say?
Open-minded, not judgemental, down to earth, reserved and the most important "ALWAYS SMILING" (I try).

I love hearing music, reading many books as I can, watching any interesting documentaries (scientific, detective story, cultural, etc). Always trying to learn.

So hope to C U then, why not in France for a coffee.

Cheers ;)
