I would say that I am a cosmopolitan type. I have many interests and even at a somewhat older age I am very curious and willing to learn and try out new things.
I have a good sense of humor and like to laugh. However, my friends mean is quite sarcastic.
I am quite sporty and love the outdoors. I am a sports lover and love to watch sports. ... Preferably soccer, of course.
