About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I think I am here to give as much knowledge to young people for life.

ABOUT ME

I am a mother of three grown up girls, all well educated, one has finished studies in Great Britain, the second is a flutist and the third is studying for a dentist. I have a loving and understanding husband. I am at the age of 58. I live at a small village in the area close to Adriatic sea, called Karst in a tiny little village, called Kosovelje. I am a teacher in elementary school for 33 years though my formal education is agricultural engineer. Through my ups and downs in my professional career I learned to be empathic, able to listen and respect diferences. I love nature and I spend a lot of time discovering it. I have a great Mother of age 80, active and understanding and the best brother in the world.
This year 2019 I started a small farm intending to make herbs, hydrolats, herbal teas, sewing and recycling old jeans and other material. Hopefully I will have some work when in pension.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to complicate for nothing. Give love to people and nature. Be humble. Find beauty in small things.
