About Me


Don't forget to click the fish-they're ticklish like me!..

What does it mean to better ourselves? Probably just discovering something inside we always had. A lifelong human quest. The trick is to have a sense of humour all the way. And keep trying.The best friends and lovers reflect and encourage this ability in each other.
All the time respecting that each journey is essentially one's personal choice. And good shoes don't hurt.

My Interests
