I'm a calm, patient and balanced person, positive in thoughts and actions. I'm independent. I'm always busy so I value time very much. I teach English at university and study Italian. I love teaching. It's my job and obsessive hobby. I like nature, flowers, beautiful sights, books, art galleries and PEOPLE. I'm not perfect but I try to live in harmony. I don't like overcrowded or noisy places, drunken or false behaviour. I always keep my house clean. I like water and soap. My dream is to travel around the world and learn the Arabic language. I must always see a new horizon to turn my can'ts into cans, and dreams into plans.
