About Me

I am 41 years old, 172cm, blue eyes, medium built and short, dark brown hair (showing now natural highlight).
I was born and raised in Switzerland, so yes, I speak with a bit of an accent.
By day, I am a health care assistant and by night a computer geek, film lover and a book worm.
Although my working life has been focused on architecture, my private life has always involve in a more artistic stream (theatre, musicals, bands).
Due to the nature of my current job, I am a good listner, very patient, happy, smiley and always in a good mood (or at least my clients think so !)
