I'd like to meet interesting people, wherever they might be from. The idea of intercultura​l friendships always appealed to me, as I always got to learn so much that way.

I'd also like to learn and/or improve my language skills, so anyone who's a Swedish, French or Italian native speaker and would be interested in lending me a hand, is most welcome to contact me.

I thought that the remark that follows wouldn't be necessary, considering the information already provided above, but due to an increased amount of undesired messages, here it goes (though sometimes I do wonder if such people even read profiles...)​:

I am not interested in anything other than FRIENDSHIP. And, yes, I mean it! So, if you're considering sending me a copy/pasted message you've sent to a thousand other females, don't bother, as I am not interested. Do yourself a favour... and invest your time with people who really are seeking a relationship​. (my message box says "thank you")

I listen to pretty much anything, but with particular interest when it has good lyrics and a pleasant melody to it.

Some favourite songs:
- I Want You, Elvis Costello
- Little Wonders, Rob Thomas (among others by him and by Matchbox20)
- Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley('s version)
- Haunted Home, David Fonseca (among many others by him)
- Quiet Times; Life for Rent, Dido
- Storm; Everything, Lifehouse (among others by them)

A very special one:

​

I love movies. I cannot say I have a favourite genre, as I can watch pretty much anything, depending on my state of mind of the moment.

I have a hard time narrowing down my favourite movies, as I have a very very long list (some of you out there know what I am talking about...).
But here are some of my favourites:
- 10 Things  I Hate About You
- Story of Us
- Music and Lyrics
- Love Actually
- Two Weeks Notice
- Finding Forrester
- Shadowlands

A forever missed moment...

​

I haven't been watching much TV lately, but I do try to catch the occasional Bones, Cold Case or Numb3rs episode.

As a compulsory reader, I end up reading pretty much anything. These past few months, I've been caught up mostly with technical books related to my professional​ life (Law), but I've been trying to re-introduce​ a bit a leisurely reading.

Eça de Queiroz and Vergílio Ferreira are two of my all time favourite Portuguese writers, in the novel genre. I like Portuguese poetry too, even though I can't really say I've been reading much lately.

Last books read:
7- Shakespeare,​ by Bill Bryson
6- Notes From a Small Island, by Bill Bryson
5- Vägen till Jerusalem (1st book), by Jan Guillou
4- Notes from a Big Country, by Bill Bryson
3- The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom
2- Sleep, Pale Sister, by Joanne Harris
1- Equador, by Miguel Sousa Tavares

Reading at the moment: Made in America, by Bill Bryson

Omnia vincit amor. - Virgil

Dorme no sonho de existir e na ilusão de amar. - F. Pessoa
