CURRENT MISSION

discover madrid & meet nice and interesting people..

ABOUT ME

I can be shy sometimes, and other times very outgoing.. I am interested in meeting people and get to know the foreign atmosphere/culture.. I enjoy going to cultural events.. Usually I am a city girl, but I discover the beauty of the country side more and more.. especially if I have holidays i like to go to see nice landscape, do some activities (even though I am not really sporty in day to day life..) .. friends describe me as being a bit of an environmentalist, I am not sure I agree, as I feel I could do so much more.. i guess it always depends who you compare yourself with..
also look at my HospitalityClub profile where I hosted people, my profile name there is isabelle1
One more thing, I will not reply to unpersonalised emails ..

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world...
Try and fail, but don't fail to try..
20 years from now you will have no regrets for what you did, if done with pure heart, but rather for things you did not do. ..

Interests

I am interested in just about everything. Also, I enjoy meeting new people and get to know the foreign atmosphere/culture.. If I am in a city I believe the best way to explore it is with a bicyle... I also like to go to see live music in not so big venues and am very interested in cultural events, interesting conversations, nice nature and wildlife, good meal with red wine and interesting & nice people.. :)
