People who know me have nick name for me "Nature girl" :) I love to share my time in the forest on the regular base to pick medicinal or wild edible plants and turn into dinner :)
For some people I am health freak. I make everything from scratch and I am good at it. I love simple way of living. I think the less we have the happier we are.
I love animals, they are my best friends. I always said if I had a house on the country site I would have a zoo :) I lived on ranch with wild horses where I spend many nights during summer on pasture with them particular during the full moon I love so much and I felt privilege to be accepted by them as pack and earn their trust. Last may, I lost my dog who was my world to me, ( I rescue her from the street but in the reality she rescue me) that was the hardest and painful recovery I ever had to go through and that's when I began to write a poetry in English. I berried my preciouses friend by in the roots of500 years old cedar tree where we used to spend our time together just to listen a silence.
I work as Esthetician in the Spa and I love my job. I like to watch how grumpy people turn into relax and smiley one :)
I don't have much experience with the CS but I would like to confirm that I am strictly here because I like to travel and to meet interesting people from all over the world who can teach me something new and help me to see the world I didn't know before. I would be boring for people who just want to hang out in the bars and clubs to drink and smoke, because I do not do any of this stuff. I try to stay healthy because health is priceless and I need it to enjoy my life in the beautiful way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shared my life with straight dog, horses and nature. P.S. After I got tied relationship with the nature I gain a lot of knowledge how to survive without relying on the grocery store :) The feeling is priceless :)
I used to be volunteer to dedicate 1000th of hours to rescue animals. And I guess it makes me feel that my life was not wasted but used in a good way.
Also, I try to recycle garbage and I have a deep respect for people who do that too. I always think where it's going to end up. I think humans are the dirtiest animals on the planet Earth and we are responsible for every creature who die because of our laziness and ignorance.
