My passion is ...

languages, travel, learning of all forms and in all shapes, meeting people and experiencing new things

I know too much about ...

B movies, csi, forensic science trivia

My parents always told me ...

to go my own way and have confidence in myself

My childhood ambition ...

to become a stunt woman

My favorite memory ...

my wedding day (cheesy but true), my first trip outside Europe (NYC), the first time i saw dolphins in the wild... too many to write them all down - thankfully!

Why I write ...

it's the one thing i can do reasonably well without trying too hard - and actually enjoy!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

several books at any one time from pulp lit to philosophy plus mags on specific topics that i get interested by / movies, absolute film junkie (don't have TV though, to counteract the addiction)

My first job ...

journalist (tabloid); well aside from babysitter, shelf stacker, gift wrapper, waitress...

My best moment ...

My inspiration ...

to never forget to learn and grow and develop and eventually gain some wisdom and be able to pass it on
