Greetings to all users of Steemit! I want to introduce myself!

My name is Natalia, I'm 42 years old ( but I don’t feel this age ), I was born in winter in one of the most beautiful cities in Russia and perhaps in the whole world - St. Petersburg.

I have been married for 20 years. I have a wonderful husband and I have a beautiful 16-year-old daughter.

I want to apologize in advance for possible mistakes in my English. I learned French at school but I do not speak it. I learned English in the USA when I was studying there at Lake Orion High School in the 11th grade. This school is located in Michigan state. When I left the Soviet Union and went to the United States to study in 1991, the Soviet Union broke up and a year later I returned to a new country. It was exciting and anxiously.

I believe that my trip and study in the US taught me a lot, I got many friends. I stay in touch with some school friends until now, even after many years passed, also I stay in touch with the host family in which I lived. This is a great family and great people! I love them a lot!

When I returned from America, I entered a medical institute and after 5 years I became a dentist. In my family there is a dynasty of dentists. I really love medicine! :) We opened a small family dental clinic not long ago and working there all together.

Also I like to grow flowers very much. Every year (summer) I try to plant something interesting and unusual. This summer I planted lilies and roses. Look how beautiful they are!

I have an opportunity to practice a garden only in the summer because I live in a country house all the summer time, and in the autumn me and my family are moving back to the city and wait for the next summer. Because the house is too cold for Russian winter :)

I love the forest insanely! I like to walk in the woods in the summer, pick up mushrooms and berries and then eat them! :) I try to walk in the forest every day for several kilometers. Fresh air and movement is very beneficial for health.

My family and I love tourism with tents. We try to visit new places every summer, basically we stop next to the beautiful lakes to fish and just relax.

Sometimes I write poetry. It happens rarely when there are some thoughts.

I like to sing and even record my singing when I do it good ( in my thoughts ). It's a cover versions of famous singers basically.

I want to tell you about my pets. I have two aquariums at home. Aquariums is my husband's hobby, I just admire the beautiful fish. Observation of fish calms the nervous system. I also have a dog of the breed Akita Inu, yes-yes, exactly the same with Hachiko! His name is Yoshiko. I love him so much! He is a very kind and affectionate dog! :) All my friends also adore him! :)

I try to enjoy every day and really appreciate the time because the lost time is never coming back. Life should be lived in such a way that you would not be shameful for her or however it sounds like…
I will be happy to share my findings, recipes, thoughts and impressions with all of you. I will be glad to share with you my interesting photos.

Thank you very much for your attention! :) Come and visit me sometimes! :)
