About Me

I'm a 20 y. o. girl who lives in the North East of Italy with my mum and my older sister (she's 28); my father died three years ago. I'm studying Russian and Romanian at university, I studied English, French and German at high school, so I love travelling and meeting new people from different Countries and of different cultures. I also love going to the cinema, reading, writing, hanging out with friends.

I'm a shy girl but I'm not afraid to say what I think. As most of Italians, I was baptised but I've never believed in God; when I was a little girl I just didn't understand why did I have to pray and believe in something/someone I couldn't see or feel. When finally I did all the sacraments I could start thinking with my mind, I found out philosophy's ideas about religion and about God and first I became a Atheist, then I became also anticlerical. I just can't stand the power of the Church in political and social issues, especially because here in Italy it is so suffocating, but I do respect religious people as long as they respect me.

I REUSE PACKAGING!

When you rate me, please leave some words to let me know if you really liked what I sent you, especially for flat mail and packages swaps. I love when you give me nice ratings but it will be nicer if you tell me something more, because when I choose items for you I always ask myself if you will like them and what will you say when you receive them. Thank you
