Dear Michael,

Hi,my name’s Laura and I am Catalan. I found your name through the Internet at this site.

I live in Tarragona (a town in Spain). Tarragona's on the coast and it has Roman ruins. I’m 37 and I would like to write in English to some other people. So I thought why not YOU?

At the moment I’m working as a graphic designer for a firm where we’re organising Art exhibitions all over Catalonia. What do YOU do? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!!

I usually spend my free time doing some hiking in the mountains in my region or doing some other sports like swimming, body fitness and aerobics. Yoga is also one of my favourites. How about YOU? Oh! Don’t think I am always “on my feet”. I also enjoy going to see films at the cinema (not commercial ones, though) , writing short stories and reading. I am quite talkative, I appreciate a smart sense of humour in people and have an open character.

WHAT ARE YOU LIKE?

I have an idea: WHY DON’T YOU WRITE A FEW THINGS ABOUT YOU AND THEN WE CAN CHAT on the NET?

Write soon!!!!!, Laura
