Biography!

Born July 22, in Holland, by a Dutch mother and Greek father. Born in Holland, raised in Greece from a very young age. This given fact immediately sets the décor for who Valerie is and what her characterists are. She consists out of two worlds, a result of two very different cultures and this is what defines Valerie. An exotic mix displayed both internal and external.
As a child she was happy, extrovert. Valerie is very creative and from an early age on she was always busy, doing things, having projects, writing, colleting things and always with a passion that bordered to obsession.
Getting in her teens, she changed, rebelled against everything. She became a very closed person, very hard to reach. Except for her writing, she excelled in it and up to this day her strong point; she has a way with words (on paper).
After high school she went to study information and communication technology. Computers are another one of her passions and she aims to make a career in it.

A Few Words By People Who Know Me:

"A girl torn in two, by rain and sunshine too, seperated by worlds in half, a million pieces to create, a soul, cry and laugh, caleidoscope in high and low, violent and sweet the road to go."

Anique

"Valerie is a very emotionallly intelligent person,who portrays a high level of tacit knowledge. We don't need to speak, we don't need to express our feelings verbally, or communicate in explicit terms. Our respect and friendship is built through a mutual understanding. She can look me right in the eyes and know exactly what I am thinking and how I am feeling. When you look into her eyes, you can perceive the intense level of emotion and feeling, which she tries to hide behind a calm exterior. To describe Valerie in a few words: Curious, perceptive, intuitive, beautiful, intelligent and complex. A lot like her artwork!"

"The first thing that pops up when I'm thinking of Valerie, is a picture of her face with her eyes looking kind of sad. Writing this reminds me of a scene from the Terminator. I've seen her transforming into an intelligent, creative, mysterious, interesting and funny individual in the last decade. And she's still growing socially and mentally off course. I remember I always liked playing with her in grandmother's backyard when we were children (happy days). It was back in those days when I thought for the first time 'there's something about her'. And there still is. We've had these great conversations, gratefully, which set me to wondering from time to time. Just wondering about how close you can possibly get to one's level. In Valerie's case, that is a challenge, to really understand her soul. I believe it's up to her wheither she will expose herself or not and all levelling will depend on this. I am proud to say she's willing to let me understand her ;). I know she really knows me and that comforts me. I hope our bound will grow and the dreams we have will come true. I'm looking forward to the future and all the fun we're gonna share. And for those who'd like to know, this is just the beginning of ... "

" Valerie is one of my dearest and closest friends. When I tell people this they may stress the point that I have never met her in person, but from what I do know about her and from what she says, I would walk 500 miles and possibly 500 more too meet her because I know that she is one of the most FANTASTIC people I have EVER met!"

"Who can describe the Atlantic Ocean in few words? It's steadiness, calmness and it's storminess? It is as hard as to describe Valerie. I try but the trying is doomed before it even starts. She can be the light of the day to her friends. She can be serious as a news anchor. She can be complicated like a slalom hill. She can be rough as a lumberjack if needed. She can  be sad as funerals. But she is also cheerful as a first sunbeam in springtime. Funny as a puppy. She is always busy like a squirrel collecting nuts for winter. Humorous like a fart in a wrong place. Charming like the whole Miss Universe competition. She is artistic as you can see here. Brain activity? Does she have it? Oh yes, her thinking cuts sharp like a razor. She also likes to watch certain comedies over and over again. That's about what a simple guy, whose only civilization is vaccination, can tell about her. Anyway it's nice to have a small part in Valerie's Gallery!"

Veijo

"Valerie's the wild one, even though everyone thinks the complete opposite. She can't sing but you sure can have a laugh about that. You can always get surprised by her, the things she knows are beyond imagination. She's a great teacher, dancer and a hopeless romantic. Most of all she's a fun person and a TRUE friend."

Sarah

"I met Valerie this year. She seems a close and complicated person but I don't think so. She is so funny, intelligent and full of surprises deep down inside! She can make you laugh and angry at the same time but it's a kind of a talent. She is a real true friend that you never want to lose her. "

Asu

"I met Valerie a few years ago I cant say I was really happy about the relationship we had then, I couldnt understand her and she couldn't understand me. I like it when I am with her she is a nice person, sometimes she likes to piss me off I hate that. I like her more after she drinks a couple of beers then she is very sweet and happy, she laughs more. She doesnt like ice cream but she ate mine once at the seaside even after I asked her if she wanted one. Anything you ask Valerie she will say no mostly to the people she cares about. I dont know why she does that, I think it's wrong. She is pretty. If she worries about something she usually keeps it to herself and she doesn't talk about it, even though she says that I am her friend, I dont like that but I can understand it, it is her character."

Ethan

"Valerie, she's one of a kind, funny and serious. Someone that suprises you, when taken the time to get to know.Trustworthy and lovable can make you smile just by looking at her. Yet she's also a quiet one, a closed book. Hard to read the first page. Her mind can fly miles away from here, laughing about her inside jokes. Who is Valerie you ask? She's the one that can make you laugh and make you smile, can make your time worthwhile."
