About Me

myspace graphics & layoutsI like to think I'm an intelligent, sensitive, caring and compassionate person. I'm very much an introvert. I don't make friends easily but when I do I'm an incredibly loyal and caring friend and in there for the long haul. I highly value life experience, wisdom and emapthy. I love to travel and believe it's the best life education money can buy. I'm fascinated by the mind, the ways of the world and the people/societies who have lived and do live in it. I love to observe the world around me, especially the people I come across. I'm afraid I'm not as patient as I'd like to be, and i don't suffer fools gladly. But I endeavour to give everybody a fair go and can get along with almost anybody. I believe everybody has a story to tell and something to teach, and I love to hear it.
