CURRENT MISSION

To open up my heart to the experiences I can have on this amazing planet, to meet people on a similar mission, to learn, to teach, to get back to basics and to play

ABOUT ME

I am most happy when I am being creative in some way, when I can play with fabrics or yarns, or paper or something, and make some cute wee thing. I love sunshine, and beaches, especially together at the same time, but beaches by moonlight also rock! :) I have a wee sense that we are all connected, that we are all supposed to be working together not only with other people, but also with other things, and with our planet, but we are very easily distracted by things and nonsense. I want to learn more stuff about anything... Any suggestions? I am currently learning how to draw from (drawing on the right side of the brain" I highly recommend it! :) With love from Lisa

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was famous in Otaru, having taught over 3000 kids in 2 years. Otaru is a town of 120,000 people, so a trip to the mall would mean I'd definitely meet a student of mine. It was fun and interesting, and a little bit difficult...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
I have lived in Japan for two years and studied the language for eight years, so I can help you with some Japanese, speaking or writing.
I am a crafty wee girl, that always has a crochet hook in her bag, so if you want help with any crafty project, or want to learn some knitting or crochet I'd be delighted to teach you.

Learn
I really love learning new languages, new crafts and skills. Please share your knowedge with me!! :)

Share
I love cooking and baking! I would love to learn your favorite dish, and share with you mine! :)
