I am a 62 years old active retired architect, divorced and living in Thailand since 2011. I am also an amateur writer and painter. I lived also in Israel, Brazil, Mexico, and the USA for extended times. I like traveling and photography, and to learn about different cultures. I become a Buddhist in Thailand, practicing Vipassana Meditation for the last 7 years. I like very much every kind of pets, and like to do training with dogs.
Here in Thailand I also become interested in Herbal Medicine, doing some research about, and founded a project called Meaningful Retreats. I have 2 grown daughters in Brazil. The older one is a paralegal, and the younger one a child psychologist. I have one granddaughter, now 6 years old....and I am sponsoring a 12 years old Thai tribal boy. I am involved in many volunteering activities in Thailand, mostly with Burma's refugees and Thai tribal communities and schools.
