About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Living my dream, dreaming my life.
ABOUT ME
I am a home-maker and I love to cook. I used to be a professional juggler and dancer.
I should mention that I am vegetarian, not by choice but because my body does not process meat. But I love to cook anything and everything, and have been collecting recipes during my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Every day is amazing!
Amongst other incredible experiences, I loved firedancing in the rain,
teaching kids different forms of theatre in summer camps and watching them open themselves and grow in that time,
swimming in the sea near Hong Kong in January and than drying on a huge rock while reading Milton's Paradise Lost,
searching abandoned houses,
backpacking all over the world,
exploring the places in Oxford that inspired Lewis Carrol,
sleeping under the stars,
walking on hot coals as a kid and than again on a living volcano...
Teach, Learn, Share
From the top of my head, I can teach you some basics (or not so basics) of firedancing or cooking.
I can share my love of arts with you, and some thoughts, and all the experiences I have made.
And I would love to learn anything and everything!
