I'm a gentle woman, curious about many things in life, very loving towards those who love me. I treasure my peace of mind and am positive about life.
How would you describe your ideal partner?
Well...it's easier to say who doesn't suit me :-). He should be a strong personality - I want to respect him, intelligent, understanding, with a kind and generous heart. I should also like the way he looks.
If you knew the world was going to end in 30 days, what would you do?
I'd prefer not to know about it. I couldn't help panicking!
If you had 10 million dollars to spare, what would you do with it?
That would be fantastic! It would open so many opportunities for me! I'd have children, maybe even adopt one, give them the best possible education.
