About Me

Things which make me tick:
Travelling to foreign destinations and sampling exotics,
Warm fuzzy feelings, willful hands, soft lips,
Inquisitivity, provocation,
Passionate kisses, beautiful auras, powerful souls,
Dangerous minds, kind hearts, strong spirits
First times, dynamicism,
Loyalty,
Integrity,
Honesty.

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." -- From "Living, learning and Loving" by Leo Buscaglia
