CURRENT MISSION Enjoy life, as it passes so quickly ! ABOUT ME I have always loved travelling. As a student, I hitch-hiked most of Europe on my own. But there comes the time when you settle down. So I did, too. I have a wonderful husband, three already grown-up children and a dog. With the kids becoming more and more independent, more prospects for travelling arise. Professionally, I run a small translation agency together with a friend. I like my job, as it keeps my mind busy. In my leisure time, I love walking up and climbing the mountains; singing (I am a member of a small folk ensemble called 'Czarolija'); making home-made wines. PHILOSOPHY Live and let live. Enjoy life, as it passes so quickly.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kinds of music, be it classical music or smooth jazz, rock or folk. I also enjoy listening to music experiments (though live only :-). Films that tell you something about the world and humans. A few favourites I can recall now include Amadeus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by M. Forman, Once Upon a Time in America, Wild at Heart, Underground and other movies by Kusturica, Apocalipsa Now, Before Sunrise. Books: Iris Murdoch, John Irving, John Le Carre to name just a few fiction writers. I also like travel memoirs.
