I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Art of all kinds and loving persons make me happy. What else? It's NOT difficult to make me dance.

My Interests

Laughing, seeing friends, family, listening to, writing and arranging music, playing contrabass, dancing Argentine tango, salsa or anything to any good music really, pretending to be a clown, going on big and small adventures, reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, art, photography, eating the yummee-yummer food made by the Swedish Chef, climbing trees or rocks, hugging pumpkins or wonderful friends, watching people, animals or wonders of nature and forgetting about the boring things for a while.

I'd like to meet:

The ones I already love, people I admire for their work and all possible friends I don't know yet.

thoughts about what I'm doing

Playing double bass is heavy, but fun. It's a moody instrument and wonderful when it's in good mood.
