  • Description

    Hi there!

    When asked about what brings me happiness, I would say...

    Traveling brings me joy, but I feel even happier when I can make a positive impact on the lives of the people around me. In fact, seeing smiles on people's faces is the key to my happiness. When I see others smiling, it makes me smile too. And my smile can continue to spread because someone else might smile at me at a different time.

    Speaking with people, exchanging ideas, hearing different visions also makes me happy.
    I am very curious; I love to learn and teach. In fact, I have been teaching Spanish since 2016 and started giving online lessons in 2019. I still offer online Spanish lessons and truly enjoy it. It doesn't take up too much of my time, but I always prepare my lessons an hour in advance because I want to cater to my students' needs. I guess you could say I'm a digital nomad.

    I also enjoy art in all its forms. I love to create interventions. There’s something about Venus in my astrological chart that has fostered my love for different areas: writing and poetry, painting, dancing, singing, playing the drums and pandero, gardening, and vegan cooking.

    Living and working in different countries is something I absolutely love and enjoy because it allows me to have a deeper understanding of different cultures and perspectives.

    I have been living abroad since 2006 and have resided in Miami (USA), Andorra, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Granada, Vietnam, Castelo Branco (Portugal), Guatemala, and now, Italy... I was in Biella, Domodosola, Alba, Asti... Currently I am in Sicily...

    While I was in Vietnam, I volunteered as an English teacher with my knowledge of Tourismus. We worked on specific vocabulary with the students of a tourism specific class for English for Specific Purposes.

    One of my biggest passions is gardening. I love to garden, from vegetable gardens to decorative gardens. I have done it in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy. I know different techniques and methods.

    Additionally, I enjoy graphic design and creating web pages using WordPress, making vegan pizzas and gnocchi, and reading astrocartography.

    Now I am look for know Italy as much as I can...and...
    ¡Voglio imparare il mio italiano!
    Capito tutti ma parlo cosi cosi :D

    Ah! I am also a Reiki terapist and teacher. I provide Reiki sessions and courses for Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho. I try to meditate every morning and sometimes at night. If you have a community or meditation center or you make workshop at your place, I will be happy to provide Reiki course level I and II. Write me!

    Also for spiritual reason from Friday night to Saturday night, I don't make any activity.
    It's my repose day. It's part of myself balance, part of my smile.

    Having my own room when volunteering is another thing that makes me really happy.

    Thank you for reading, wish you the best
    ...and a big smile in your face!

    :D
