Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Shortly - to love and enjoy living :-)
ABOUT ME
I am energetic and enthusiastic person, I am a woman, partner, mother, worker, party animal when I find some time :-), and I do my best to put all this roles into one person.
I love life, and truly enjoy in all the small things that lies just besides you... I live with my partner Marko and our boys - Val (10) and Vid (5), who are more than fantastic, in the sweet small house close to Zagreb.
Marko and I are both economists, working in the field of energy and environment, Val is interesting young man planning to become robot engineer, animal researcher and ninjitsu master one day (all in the same time! :-)) and Vid is charming, outgoing and funny little fellow (his interests are nowadays based around football, lego, superheroes and all his older brother's toys :-).
We love to travel together, and to have new people in our home. Val and Vid are both fans of travelling since their youngest age, and we would like to present them as much differences and beauties this world has as we would be possible to.
Second thing we love to do together is to play music - we have collection of instruments from all around the world, and although we're lousy players we just loooove to make a noise :-).
And we like all kinds of outdoor activities - hiking, bikes, roller blades... it's pretty hard to find us at home when it's above 10 degrees! But during the cold winter days we spend afternoons at home playing with kids, reading books or watching Disney cartoons (or producing some strange kind of music :-)).
PHILOSOPHY
I borrowed this one, but took it as mine:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "WOO HOO what a ride!!!"
