I'm a mum of two sons aged 6 and 9. I live in Eindhoven and I'm teaching English and cooking at the Novalis Waldorf High School in Eindhoven. I'm a regular correspondent of the Hungarian Art Monthly Magazine (writing reviews on exhibitions of modern and contemporary art in the Benelux) since 2001. Last year my first children book was published by the Belgian Clavis Children Book Publisher (http://www.clavisbooks.com/book/de-knoop-van-manu).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Written a childern book, and the second one is soon coming out.

Lifted at night to Venice (carnaval), was crazy and stupid (dangerous), but the city was amazingly surrealistic covered in fog and strange creatures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher by profession. Love to write articles, hope to give writing classes later on. Busy with MA of Education.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My town, the surrounding nature, my favourite city, Antwerp, just 45 minutes ride from hier. My kidz and my friends. Take you to Plaza Futura for the best art movies.
