My Interests

I love walking on the streets of cities I've never been before, discovering new sides of Paris, watching the sunrise from my room, listening to the rain falling on the roof while I'm safe and warm in bed, walking in fresh snow early in the morning when it still cracks, talking nonesense with friends, being with people who care about me, smelling the food my grandma cooks (and eating it afterwards), travelling all over the world ( Australia , Hong Kong, Europe: Malta , Italy, ...), feeling close to someone, meeting new faces, wandering on the Internet, learning languages, playing The Reason Why on the piano, finding out something in common with a stranger...

I'd like to meet:

God maybe.
