I consider myself to be a smart, creative, sensitive but straight forward and grounded woman who loves family, friends and good positive things that life has to offer. I enjoy traveling, arts and crafts, ballet, opera once in a blue moon, theatre, flea markets, street fairs and reading. I am fascinated by languages and poetry, I write when inspired. I absolutely enjoy listening to classical music and love all kinds of music: Jazz, MPB, bossa nova, fado, latin music. Dancing too! I enjoy cooking with friends for social occasions but also dinning out and trying traditional as well as new cuisine. Cooking is a way to relax for me. Friendship, respect and honesty are vital for my happiness. I love meeting people and making new friends. Nature and I are very good companions. Long walks while observing the flowers and the birds and a lovely chat about life in general is enchanting. Iy the shore... WOW! I like to travel anywhere and I do!! Often!! My family and friends are most important to me. My job! I love what I do. I am kind, loving, very patient and passionate about life.
