Hobbies
I am an artistic person as I also graduated in visual arts in Italy. I love painting, drawing, and craft works. I am into natural remedies and diy for the body, mind, and house. I love animals especially cats. I adopted two adorable kitties that are now 10 years old and I brought with me to the US all the way from Italy. IMPORTANT: If you are allergic to cats I need to know to accomodate the lessons elsewhere than my place. Any how, my place is extremely clean and you can barely notice the cats' presence.
