I'm a Swedish junior level teacher, residing in Israel since 14 years. I'm a teacher from my soul and heart, and I love children and teaching (in that order: - )!
I was born to Swedish landowners and grew up on a farm with both agriculture and stock. There I got my love for animals, an interest that I took up as a grown up. I now have one Persian cat and two motherless kittens that I stumbled over a year ago: - )
Since I came to Israel, I have returned to my profession. I now teach English and computer to 250 pre-schoolers in a private nursery school. I have a part time job and the Israeli salaries are only a fraction of Swedish incomes. Frugal living has become my second nature, by necessity. I try to make the best of what I have and not to drown in expenses: - )
I stayed here during wars as well as earthquakes, became a victim of crime in 2005 (escalated domestic violence), divorced in 2006 and re-invented my life completely - and to my satisfaction. I now live with my four children aged 9 to 18.
I have two elderly parents in Sweden, who take care of each other, and with whom I have weekly contact over the phone. (They still don't feel confident enough to use computers...: - )
My interests are: reading, writing, helping people, analyzing problems, trying to find solutions (part of my job as a teacher), organizing summer activities for children, visiting or going out with friends, caring for my cats, writing on the cat forums, going to the mall and having a nice lunch and reading a book, computers, internet surfing, learning new things all the time, cooking, frugal living, educating children, doing things with my children, organizing the house and daily life, budgeting.
