My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Passionated, creative, positive and open minded people. Those who share and shine despite themself. Those who confront their fears to be trully who they are in freedom and integrity. Those who are searching like myself. Those who are fascinated by the perfection of our universe and respect it. Those who have a great sense of humor and derision like the guy who made this video bellow : )
