I'm a person who thinks life should be fun and I feel sorry for those who spend each day being grumpy. My work takes me all over the world! Pastimes are walking on beaches and drinking tea, though not at the same time..Yet.

Umm what else .. I would describe myself as always smiling with a caring and fun attitude to life. I am kind and balanced, very intelligent and goal-oriented, charming and cheerful. As a woman I am very sensual and touchy, tender, kind of romantic and caring. I possess a flexible nature, I am easy-going and compromising. I am an absolute optimist. I deeply love life and sincerely believe in love! I like to joke and to have fun, to laugh and simply find beauty in everything.

Having some similar interests helps. Some things I enjoy are fine dining, walking at the beach at night, going dancing, watching movies including foreign films, traveling, going snowboarding, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home and cuddling.

I mainly go for older music like Queen, The Police, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Duran Duran, but I do like some modern stuff, like Fatboy Slim Scissor Sisters and Prodigy. The problem is I drive for a living, I hear all the new stuff on the radio over and over again, So when it finally gets to the shop I'm sick of it.

The 4 Alien films, Forest gump, Equilibrium, The Shawshank Redemption, Godzilla, Most films with cars going "Vroom Vroom" really fast in them (though I don't like watching Formula 1... Strange).

I spend a lot of my free time reading. I’m interested in politics, especially foreign policy. One of my favorite contemporary commentators is Paul Craig Roberts of www.paulcraigroberts.org . I’m currently reading two books, one is “Born under a bad sky” by Jeffrey St. Clair, the other one is a true classic: “The brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I really like Russian arts and literature, but have a hard time remembering Russian (often lengthy) names. The first 30 or so pages you are presented with about 40 different names, and I have to concentrate hard to keep track of who is who... :-)
