Hmmm! I am a pretty open-minded person, honest and funny. I am a creative person in different ways; I work in Visual Art, do my own stuff when I can and also enjoy writing poetry (though I am not saying I am good at it!) and I am a lateral thinker. These are all good outlets for me to express myself. Having said that, there is more to me than that!
I feel extremely fortunate to have been born into the family I was, and have enjoyed what I would see as basic rights, love, health, shelter, food, education etc. Because of this, I feel strongly about working to make positive changes in the world to enable more people to have access to what I have had. Big statement, I know, but important to me!
I love to laugh; it's good for the soul. Having said that, I can be serious too, which I guess would make me aware and adaptable.

If you get to know me, you will see that I am a loyal friend, who tries her best not to judge, is supportive, warm and affectionate.

Things that are a must for me are honesty, sense of humour, communication, passion, affection and integrity.

Big turn offs: Arrogance, dishonesty, rudeness (I am not talking about language here), intolerance, infidelity, lack of humour (That's a killer).
Sorry, just being honest :)

I love diversity, so new experiences, people, adventures, places are very attractive to me. I work hard but am always looking for a little more balance!
I love learning new things, generally by doing.
Laughing a lot!
I have just left Hong Kong after 7 years and have just started a new job in Beijing.
Exploring what makes me tick........ I'm enjoying this!

Not blowing my own trumpet!

Is probably my sense of humour and that I am a very tactile person but I would be interested to know what you notice!

Books: The God of Small Things, To Kill a Mockingbird, Inyenzi, Three Cups of Tea, The Prophet, A Walk By the Sea, The Alchemist, The Mind's Eye and The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, Lord of The Flies
Films: Out of Africa, Cry Freedom, !00 Days, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Music: Geoffrey Oreyema, Eric Wainaina, the music of Karl Jenkins Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice, Los Kjarkas, Nina Simone - Hard to say; an eclectic mix really. I often listen to music for its association with people, places, memories.

Could I 'never' do without these things? I could, but these are the things that make my life more fulfilling...........
Family and good friends
interesting experiences,
being part of positive change,
some peace and quiet occasionally,
challenges,
touch
laughter (have I mentioned that yet?)
(and yes, i know that that is more than 6!!) I'm arty remember?

If anyone has any idea how the 'personality' part of this site works? I am ready to be enlightened!!

Possibly chilling out at home or with friends

I think the time to be sharing that is if we meet, don't you?

You are in Beijing and fancy showing a relative newcomer around.
You are far away but enjoy travelling, that works for me!!
You are genuine, warm and funny.
You consider yourself to be good company.
You have great stories to share
