Hello!

Hello there and welcome! I’m a fun loving, song singing, silly story, happy type of person. Mother to 5 between ages 4-16 yrs old. I’ve worked in many different teaching atmospheres in different avenues for over 25 years. I love to chat with people from all walks of life.

Travelling has always been a huge passion of mine. I’ve travelled through out the United States and Canada. All over Europe ( Italy, Greece, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Azores, ) and Great Britain. And multiple places in the Caribbean. I love to learn of others cultures and traditions. Along with general ways of life. I’m an avid reader. I love to talk to people and hear their stories of life and experiences, that's the best way to learn! I love to swim and can be found in the lake or River for a swim as much time as I can spare. My mother is from Finland and this heritage is of great importance to me and my family.
