It's happening again!

zMaja: I was born on the shores of the Mediterranean, in an ancient place tucked deep in the North Adriatic. I grew up surrounded by the sea and zillions of Roman ruins, amphitheatres and arches where tourists start arriving in May and leave in October, to spend winters in some strange countries where, the story has it, the real snow often falls. I didn't like rains and so, I too left one October, to see what real winters look like and to become someone. I became a student of Dramatic and performing arts and I fell in love with snow. Ten years later, I unexpectedly (and reluctantly) came back to the old place on the coast, where the sea is blue, the winds too powerful and where tourists come in May. Here I read, write, knit and dream of snow that, I now know- really does exist!
