I enjoy a quiet life at home in the Australian bush with my husband and dog. I am a lifetime learner, constantly enjoying finding something new to learn about. Being creative in all aspects of my life is important to me, whether it's photography and crafts or making an interesting meal drawing inspiration from world cuisines. I enjoy walking in nature without being plugged into my phone, just listening to the sounds of the birds and wind in the trees. I lived in Japan for many years and I continue to be engaged with many things about Japanese culture.
