retired - exploring nature in my country, as well as other countries.

I am a retired person, currently working part-time in a grocery store.

I am an animal lover, having five domestic cats. I also love wild cats, especially tigers, and am very passionate about spreading the word about animal conservation. I think we need to be much more active in educating the world to care about animals -- there is a strong connection between how we treat animals and how we treat each other.

We must stop destroying their habitat and killing species for body parts.

Future generations have a right to experience these gorgeous animals.

I also am very interested in caring for our environment. We need to think of alternative power sources and living a much less wasteful life.

What I like most about Novica:

The most important thing to me is the fact I am helping someone make a living by doing what they love to do.

As well, I get to choose from the most exquisite and hand-made items from every corner of the world.

The quality is excellent and prices are very reasonable.

I love that artists are eco-conscious and make unique items that are recycled.

Everyone wins and helping someone make a good living for their family makes me feel good.
