Dear Santa,

I am writing to you as I have a special request for you this year. I have been a fun, and passionate person, happy in his life, generous, respectful and kind to others, as well as very honest except that time when I lied to my mom as a child after breaking the glass jars she was using to make jam.

When I look back and reflect on the past years, I realize I have been lucky to live a life full of rich experiences. I was born and grew up in Europe from multicultural parents, learned several languages, three of them fluently, lived and worked on several continents from Asia, to Europe and Americas, passed my divemaster degree by making people discover underwater corals in Bali and volunteered in one the most remote and pristine forests of Ecuador on carbon sequestration projects and on research to save endangered species of birds.

I also took Sommelier classes in Napa and made my own vintage which was awarded at 2 wine competitions as well as trained as a professional masseuse to share my kinesthetic gift with people in need of physical relief. All this while pursuing my career in technology.

I have also been lucky to have a wonderful circle of friends from all over the world with whom I am able to share some of these experiences and the various activities I enjoy during my free time.

That said, no matter where I spend these moments, at the other end of the world or just a stroll from home, whether it's about a new adventure or just sipping coffee and shopping at a Farmer's Market, I also found that they are even better experienced when shared with someone special.

As I now look forward, I am hoping you could help me meet someone who is happy in her life, independent, humble, adventurous, who likes to laugh and can still act as a kid, who sees her life turned towards the others and the world, and who is looking for her best friend with whom she’ll believe that anything is possible while feeling inside that happiness is in the little things of everyday life.

By the way, you do not have to wait until Christmas eve or even wrap my present in a box with gift wrap as I'd like to see her in mint condition, smiling and simply be herself when we meet.

Thank you, Santa.

L.

Let's meet up for something simple to get to know each other.
