TIGER 

Here's a little bit about my background. I was a home health care nurse for PWA's (people with AIDS) in the 90’s and can offer health care if you're recovering from any kind of dental work, plastic surgery, etc.  I'm an animal lover and have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I consider myself a happy and upbeat person. I love people, but enjoy my alone time as well. I'm a retired personal trainer with 25 years experience, I was also a licensed massage therapist. These days I'm an artist who works mostly in polymer and clay. I have a wheel and kiln in my art studio. In addition I enjoy jewelry making and sculpture. I'm also a gardener and cook.

I'm one of those animal loving, earth loving, people loving liberals. I like people who are kind to the earth, tolerant of all races, religions and sexual preferences. Occasionally I travel or go to the beach and you may have the place to yourselves. If I'm traveling nearby you may be invited to split costs and come along. If you stay you may be asked to feed my cats or dogs in exchange for a discounted room rate. They're really friendly, if you like animals at all, you'll probably like mine. If you don't like animals, or are allergic, or are otherwise occupied I understand and I'll be happy to make other arrangements for their care while I'm away.

Some people want to know why I'm called 'Tiger'. When I lived in Alaska I did a short stint as a dancer. My stage name was Tiger. When I moved to Japan I kept the same stage name and after almost 20 years of living in Japan I just got used to it. That’s it. You may call me Jilla (G-la) if you prefer, I don’t really have a preference. Tiger is just easy to pronounce and remember.

if you really want to know more about me; here's an interview I did last year.
