Hello everyone! I'm a friendly, polite, open minded, genuine and down-to-eart​h girl from England. I'm looking to get in-touch with people from across the world, so that I can learn new and exciting things about different cultures...I​ would love to learn a language too.  To find out more, please get in-touch!

I don't care about your race, gender, age or sexuality, just as long as we share some things in common and that you treat me with respect.

Please send me a message before you ask for friendship. I'm not interested in pen pals who are after MONEY and SEX...Just genuine, honest and cultured people who want to chat and learn. I'm really not into that other stuff and would appreciate it if you respect that. I won't pay any attention to in complete sentences or one liners such as "Hi"​ or "How are you". I want to get to know people from different countries, but I cannot do that until I receive some 'substance' of information.​... please don't send them, as I won't consider them. Thank you.

Spending quality time with my friends, Reading,writ​ing, listening to music, dancing, art, photography,​ postcards and letters, literature, language, visiting art galleries and exhibitions,​ going to the theatre, movies, philosophy, ethics, chats and debates, animals - especially monkeys, dogs and horses, vegetarianis​m, the environment,​ watching tennis, travelling, meeting new people...

'If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo​ painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well'
Martin Luther King , Jr

'He says, you have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can’t make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.' -
Frank McCourt (Angela's Ashes)

'All I can do is be me, whoever that is'.
Bob Dylan
