What would you most like to get out of this network, for example in terms of learning or support?

I have always had a passion for environmental and conservation issues and I am in the process of purchasing some land in Costa Rica which will allow me to pursue my passion. I hope to see discussions on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sustainability. I hope to interact with like minded people interested in helping themselves and their communities become more environmentally friendly and sustainable for the future. I hope to learn about those initiatives of which I am not aware. I have a serious interest in reforestation, medicinal plants, healthy food and eco tourism.
Life is about passionate people sharing ideas and developing constructive ways to implement change. I am ready to grasp new opportunities and contribute my ideas, energy, passion and commitment.

What is your current job and/or what field are you studying?

What knowledge, skills and experience do you have that you would be happy for people to contact you over?

I have 25 + years of international experience as interior designer/project manager. I am a hands on person and have also worked as soft furnisher on behalf of an Italian company. I have worked as translator and interpreter. I have been in charge of marketing of Slovenian sea salt and wine and Costa Rican noni products. I have worked on cruise ships as Art Director.

What else would you like to say about yourself?

I am an artist deep down and my passion is a small eco project in Costa Rica. I am currently in my native Slovenia but looking for an opportunity to return to Costa Rica as soon as possible. I love my 'children' (one daughter who will soon be 18 and off to university and one Birman cat), my life, art, design, architecture, gardening, reading, helping others, ecology, music, movies and so much more.
