About me

I’m 48 years old, living in Switzerland, looking to travel more and connect with other women. I have 3 human children and 7 rescued kitty children. I’m originally from the USA but living in Italian Switzerland for the past 14 years. I studied Russian literature at university a long time ago and never ended up doing anything with it career wise. I own and operate two small rustic vacation cottages in a mountain area of Switzerland. The work is dull and not lucrative but it keeps the cottages from sitting empty all year. In my free time I read, paint and sunbathe. Not necessarily all at once 😅

About me

Costantly searching for my spot in the world and good Friends for sharing moments. Some people say that I always have my head in the clouds and can't focus on one thing for too long. I believe that changes are a constant in life (for better and worse) and that sometimes reality can be seen better from a feather bed that lightly vibrates in the air and takes its time to settle on the ground. Anyway, I'm not too good at introductions because there would be too many things to say and too little space available; getting to know someone is a slow and shared process. That's why I can give a brief summary of my journey so far, the things I like and don't like: 👶 I was born in Italy (Tuscany) and when I was four years old, captivated by the yellow liquid, I tasted the Limoncello made by my mother; 👩‍🎓 I studied Industrial Design in Florence, the cradle of art/culture/history. One day, I spent two hours at the Galleria dell'Accademia drawing Michelangelo's David statue in detail; 🇨🇭 I've been living in Switzerland for a few months now, and so far, I’ve tasted the following chocolates: -Ovomaltine -Ragusa -Cailler If you know something that NEED tò be taste please let me know; ⛰️ I like hiking in the mountains and doing other outdoor activities like climbing, beach volley, cycling, or simply lying in the shade of a tree; 📚 I like novels (Fantasy and more) and comics of all kinds; 🎶 Sometimes in the morning, I like to pick a Spotify playlist and listen to it while drinking coffee on the terrace; 🎨 I love art for its incredible malleability in the hands of the artist; it is a means of communication between multiple worlds and realities; 🍪 My favorite sport Is to male biscuits with/for Friends and taste them beside a Cup of tea or milk; ❌ I don't like fresh tomatoes.
