About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

i'm a openminded person, always trying to get better, realistic trying to find back to optimism :-), i like to go out for dancing and having fun, snowbording, swimming, writing what i'm doing, cooking, reading, i like to discuss with people about anything, i'm interested in politics.
i like to do stupid things ;-) ... but i also hang around and do nothing.

hmm i should mention negative sides, if youre getting on my nerves (while being my guest) , i can freak out a bit, but 5 minutes later im me again..

*g* if someone has something to add, write me a message, i put it in ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

i like to learn better french, i like this language. I can show you a little bit how to cook.. but not really special things.. just show me what food do you have and we cook together. I can help you a bit in english, if you want to improve that but i havent studied it. Id like to learn how to play the guitar, how to take better pictures, how to draw and paint better, learn new recipes and combinations of ingredients i havent thought about...
