Hello!

About me:

I am an italian/dutch woman living in Ridderkerk (a little village nearby Rotterdam) with my partner and I'm 30 years old. I am an art teacher but I also have an art studio where I make art and art education material. I also give Italian lessons to gifted children and I'm a dyslexia coach. My hobbies are: making art, reading, playing boardgames, hiking in nature, postcrossing, traveling and going to musea. We have a dog named Chiara. She is a rescue dog from Greece.

Nice to meet ya!
