About me

 English, living in Germany. To my Secret Santa: I love chocolate and sweet things, anything purple, books, world cinema, cooking, photography, anything to do with Latin America, am also learning German. No allergies and am generally quite easily pleased, anything traditional from your country will be fine, although I dislike the colour orange and am not into sport or horror films! Oh, and don’t have pierced ears.

    Webs' post is crying out to be a sig line ;-) Not mine, I'm still way too people-pleasing, but I've got a few years to work on it!
