Gilda Hunt was born in the tiny country of El Salvador, Central America where she was introduced mostly by her father to the beauty of the arts: books, music, specifically opera which he sang, plays, art and dancing. As a point of interest, her name Gilda comes from the opera Rigoletto.

Being there, one can appreciate the hardiness required to survive and thrive in that environment. |

 | | Japan is another unique place in the world where there is so much to see, appreciate and learn about nature, art, food, religion, order, obedience and respect. While in Japan, one can sense the incredible sense of respect for everything in nature. Every living thing such as an animal, or a tree, flower and bush is taken care of as importantly as every human being. |
 | | How lucky can I be to experience a spiritual journey to the amazing land of New Zealand. I loved every place I visited, the people's kindness and creativity to utilize every thing this land offers them. The strong and conquering attitude of the Maori population, who bravely display their culture with artistic and unique tattoos to show they own every inch of their bodies. |
