Hi :) I've lived in four different countries, met people from all around the world. I see myself as a cosmopolitan, friendly and open-minded person.

I like learning from other peoples mistakes and I'm here to give advice to those who ask for it. I am not qualified to do so, but due to me travelling quite a bit, I've had my fair share of experiences.

I am currently in a long distance relationship and although I am quite happy to be with that person, we still haven't set a final target, where our long distance relationship ends and our future together begins. In fact, neither of us is sure there will be a future together, as one of us will have to sacrifice everything to be with the other person, which makes it all even harder to stay stong. I love having him in my life and we are taking it slow and we´ll see where it takes us.

A.   4 November 2008: Libido isnt just orgasm though. If your libido was gone you wouldnt want to have sex in the first place. Try using new positions? When I was on the pill a while ago my sex drive has decreased - I wasnt up for sex at all, i have stopped takin... (read in full...)
