One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen so many amazing moments in my life I will never forget. Magic is in a little things, magic is moments of love. My life is a constant adventure. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach massage therapy techniques.

I would love to learn about permaculture, ecofarming, building natural houses. I am planing to participate in a survival courses in the wild nature. I enjoy learning anything useful all life.

I think that we received the gift of life as a chance to learn and realize that We are all One. (ususaly we can get it when is too late) so I take every chance in life to think and learn about anything I can.
