About Me

Stories are my first love, they thrill me to the core: books, films, history, maps, trails, imagination. I also love travelling very much, not for the sake of "seeing sights" as the tourists are wont to do, but for the sake of travelling. I also love learning different languages, and I am always on the lookout for language exchange in those languages.

For the rest, I will love it if someone contacts me.

Requests

People who like talking and who also like silences and know the worth of both words and silences. Any age is fine. I do like to talk with girls more than with boys, in general. They are often of a different gender after all: a different world!
