I'm a woman in my 50s, artist who lives in a village in the north of Portugal after 45 years living in my hometown of Porto. I'm passionate about color, books, plants, comfort, discipline, organization, studying and rural life. I'm intense, very resilient and thoughtful (characteristics that at first I mistakenly called... slow!!). I love silence and solitude when properly balanced. I'm tall, and I have lots of freckles!
