Grandparents hailed from Hungary & Germany & yet I'm always drawn to Spain & Italy. Must've been my Spanish high school teacher, who travelled throughout Spain for the summer & told us all about her adventures via slideshow. I consider myself a writer/musician (was founding member of local folk trio, "The Attenders," where I played steel string guitar), artist, poet/haiku, survivor of what could have been a near-death experience, limerick-crafter, foodie, upbeat, critic, dreamer, traveler, cyclist, snorkler, photographer, describer of wines, creator of fragrances, good at identifying ingredients, artist, weaver, planner, beader, hiker, swimmer, reader, yoga practitioner, lover of all things Tibet/Spain!, survivor, haiku-writer, comic, thinker, spiritual. . .Attracted to anything different: accents, spices, the unknown!
