Hi, this is Noel. I live on the border of Mexico in southern Arizona on a historic ranch where my husband and I are caretakers. I work in wetland restoration and manage a small fresh water marsh which is available for school children to come and learn about nature, water in the desert and history. My dream is to live by the ocean, and I hope to be able to do that in a few years. We share our home with two house bunnies, a cat and a dog and of course the wild ones which include coyote, deer, javalina, snakes, and a bear or two now and then.

I am mom to three children all adopted from Korea and Taiwan. They are my joy and my pride and I'm so lucky to have them in my life, even though they all live far away... living their own lives. I'm passionate about so many things.. cooking, gardening, art, travel, family, music, and I love paper and paper arts including handmade books, cards, ATC's, mail art and post cards of course!

I am excited to begin this new journey and meet the world through this cultural experience! best wishes to you all. Noel
