I am a lover of nature, forests and beaches. I love visiting gardens. My time is spent writing, teaching, designing, gardening and renovation. I enjoy yoga and meditation. I love talking philosophy and spirituality. I love exploring nature and spending time with animals. I am grateful to be a mother in this life of one adult daughter. I am also grateful for all the travel opportunities I have had. My heritage is Portuguese. I was born in Mozambique and then travelled to Portugal and then finally settled in Australia with my family when I was close to seven years old.
