CURRENT MISSION

To learn languages, meet people of the world, find a life partner, and be the person I always wanted to be.

ABOUT ME

I've made it my mission to meet the world and its inhabitants. I hear it's never to late to be the person you want to be, and now is my time.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will be alright in the end. If it isn't alright, then it isn't the end...That's actually borrowed, but it helps me remember that the most important thing is to relax, have faith, and keep laughing. Love is all around. Please start any couch request with the phrase "I envy Mirka Federer" at the beginning so I know you read my profile.
