ABOUT ME

I live my life backwards... started family very early, and now when both sons are grown up, I have time to take care of my own broader education. I emmigrated from the former USSR in 1981 and settled in Boston. Most of the winter months I spend in San Miguel de Allende, MExico. I love to travel, read, cook, hike, but most of all I like to socialize with interesting people. When I travel, I like to stay with a local family, and see a country through their eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

life is too short, education never ends, world is a small place, live and let live

Music, Movies, and Books

Almodovar, French movies 40-60th, Haruki Muracami, John Irving, classical music, NY Metropolitan Opera, 20-40th Jazz. I load about 30 books per year on my IPOD, and "read" / listen when I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am married to the same man for all my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone to make elegant jewelry from... nothing. I can teach Russian cooking, knitting, faux paining. I can teach a shy woman to be a diva, even for a moment.

I'd like to learn how to emuse myself during meditation.
