I am passionate about meeting peoples from all over the world, sharing with them my passions in food, my cultures, traveling, exploring something new, adventurous and yet different. My motto in life: carpe diem ( seize the day) and Hakuna Matata ( in Swahili it meant - no worries, be happy ). For I believe that life is meant to be lived to its fullest potential as we are passing by this life only once. I have an easy going personality, people says.
