In Her Own Words
About her
International - I was born in NY, half Italian, half Romanian, I've lived in the US, Italy and now the UK for over 30+ years.
Musical - I play the piano to a high level and sing regularly in a semi-professional ensemble choir in London. Music is one of my great passions, especially classical, but I have eclectic taste!
I love travelling and visiting new (and old) places, going out in the city, restaurants, theatre, concerts.
I love food and cooking - I'm unfussy and I eat everything. Spaghetti alle vongole is a firm favourite...but only in Italy!
I love to read - though pretty slowly and it takes me ages to get through a book (I've been told I move my lips while reading, that's probably why), I have a secret geeky side, and tend to “deep-dive” into topics that interest me. Classic novels, philosophy, psychology, and now, investing, are all great interests. I adore Italy and all things Italian - I know Milan and Venice particularly well, having lived in the former and visited the latter yearly from childhood.
A few final descriptors (this is hard!) Expressive, sensual, educated, cultured. I’m playful, I laugh easily, and am naturally affectionate, romantic and loving.
I guess overall I’m generally a chilled, cheerful, optimistic person, who integrates easily into different environments and gets along with most people.
About her ideal match
To me, love is about being a team, sharing laughter, dreams, and creating a life full of warmth and understanding together. That's what I am looking for - aren't we all?
So…fingers crossed you are someone who is good-humoured most of the time, like me, and with masses of energy, spirit and intelligence. Someone with a great sense of humour who likes to laugh. Someone I can totally rely on in social situations (as you'll be able to rely on me). A good communicator who is emotionally mature, and to whom negative feelings do not come easily.
Beyond that, I am looking for a relaxed person, unfussy, someone who loves food so eats most things, who makes conversation easy and who loves to discuss and share ideas. Somebody who is calm in a crisis, who can take charge...but not always! I’m looking for a man who is excited about the physical side of a relationship, and who understands women (a girl can dream can't she? )
I’m extremely close with my family so someone who values that and understands that. I have a full, busy and happy life, but I long to make time for a loving, passionate, equal and mutually respectful relationship.
Finally, someone who doesn't mind a mild American accent. :)
