Recientemente he trabajado en Australia como conductor de buses, pero fui profesora de piano en NZ por 25 anos.
En estos dias disfruto hacer caminadas a la montana,nadar en rios y el mar,trabajar en mi huerta
y reunirme con mis amigos musicos. Por supuesto yo tocaria el piano o el piano accordion.
En mi casa soy muy consciente acerca del medio ambiente, asi es que reciclo toda la basura organica e inorganica.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to live sustainably,fairly simply. Spare some time for laughing.
