About Me

well i just got back from a year volunteering in a shanty town of costa rica, where i worked with the most amazing children ever! i also travelled throughout central america - walked in volcano craters and volcano boarded in nicaragua, swam in natural swimming pools in the forest in guatemala, visited ancient pyramids towering over the jungle amongst howler monkeys, jaguars and all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures, explored honduras, belize and el salvador and chilled on caribbean and pacific coasts and also a big highlight was doing a canopy tour thousands of metres high in the cloud forest! my salsa swinging hips and my new latina lifestyle make me want to travel the world further! i cant settle in one place for too long, i guess thats a gemini trait! i'm a little bit scatty and don't take life too seriously - another gemini trait i reckon. my friends would probably say i am messy but i would say i live in organised mess :-) i absolutely love singing and have been known to get the old hairbrush in front of the mirror and dance like a maniac...those who have had the good fortune of living with me will vouch for the high volume singing in the shower! i enjoy going out partying til the early hours and dancing til i drop but i don't enjoy the repercussions!! my favourite feeling has to be being in a proper fit of laughter...making other people laugh is pretty good too! :)

My Interests

i love socialising with people from all walks of life, dancing until i drop, singing til my voice goes and acting or clowning about. i love food and cooking, excercise, theatre and cinema. i love clubbing but i hate hangovers! oh and i absolutely love a good comedy too...peter k is the best!!!

I'd like to meet:
