I live a life that astonishes even me, doing things I am good at: teaching Permaculture balcony gardening, translating, and running an inner-Melbourne share-house for dreamy overseas guests.

My hobbies used to be learning Japanese, sewing, drawing and gardening. But now they are my jobs, so I need new hobbies.

One ambition of mine is to create quirky balcony gardens for interesting people all over the world, people I will love and gardens we will both love. What a legacy. Another is to make my own family of curious, creative, funny people, big and little, with an astonishing garden. I also want to breathe more, eat more, hesitate less and feel in the presence of love for more moments of my life.
