What brings me Happiness? Feeling at home in foreign countries. Making good friends, and meeting interesting people who also find me interesting. I have lived in Rio De Janeiro, Cadiz Spain, Paris, and Poitiers France and Lisbon, Portugal. My best friends are in Sevilla and Paris. I have studied French, Portuguese, and Spanish. I speak very clear English and as a result, people have often asked me to be their tutor. I adore children and I love to teach them baking, cooking, and gardening.

More details about your skills
I adore flower gardening and vegetable gardening. I love to cook and bake and have been known to learn complex baking skills like making French Croissants by hand. I have purchased many homes and remodeled them, often doing much of the work myself. I can tile, paint, pound nails, and use power tools such as chop saws, power drills, etc. I am a licensed registered nurse in the USA, although I disdain the pharmaceutical world and choose to live a natural life without chemicals of any kind. I taught English in Brazil and Portugal.
