Hey everyone! I'm Azra, I was born in Bosnia & Herzegovina. I moved here when I was two because of the Bosnian war. It has taught me to be strong and cherish life and the people you hold close to yourself. I am bilingual learning my third language and I love going back home to visit my family. Snowboarding is my new favorite hobby and I am learning to play acoustic guitar! I am gullable when it comes to horoscopes. I enjoy surrounding myself with people who listen to my opinions and voice theirs, someone who can give me a new outlook on life is definitely someone I would like to meet. (:
