Born in Sweden and arrived in Oz with my Romanian mother and German father when I was about 9..Travelled throughout oz as my mother was a trapeze artist with the original Silvers circus...Magdalena is her beautfiul name.
Left home at 14 and backpacked throughout oz for three years , resentful, no direction and an angry teenager in a world I did not understand..Found my destiny in my grandmother, studied on and off both in Oz and Europe for the next ten years...
Worked mainly with humanitarian, most recently in King Saud hospital in middle east for three years hopping from Palestine to Jordan...
Returned to Oz disillusioned and worked simple jobs in retail for six months until volunteering with drug addicts brought me full circle..
Now have a studying, working position for a year in Dublin...
Do I like it? Sometimes I hate it...I love kids but find the entire political correctness BS...
Working in the Middle east and Africa brought me an enlightened sense of peace but since returning to the 'real world' the daily questions of 'what am I doing this for' have returned...
My spare time is taken up with art also...I paint acrylics, always people of different cultures..my passions history, poetry-sufism and 1400 Persian, books, books and my kids....
Money...not interested..Just like for tomorrows kids to live with less suffering.
