People of Adelaide – Stanislav, The Transformation Guru

Story 9

Do you want to meet someone brilliant, epic and wild card? Someone who never keeps you bored or turned off. Someone who bursts into million sparkling roles and transforms your life into an everlasting holiday. Here he is. Stanislav, Stanislove, Stas - a combination of inviting personalities.

Stanislav has three equal passions in his life: Theatre, Travelling, Transformation.

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players” is Stanislav’s motto. Theatre is his life and his life is a Theatre. As an actor he is so convincing in a role that he can hold an audience captive and make them feel as if there is nothing but the story at hand. He can easily transform from a comical kids’ character to a seductive mysterious stranger.

He travelled a lot and lived in retreat centres, he learned simple and effective meditations and mindfulness techniques to calm a mind, relax a body and cultivate well-being. He is the quintessential vegetarian, spiritual seeker, massage master and savvy yoga enthusiast. He surfed through life transformation waves and knows how to be happier, healthier, more fulfilled. Do you want to know it too? Ask him. He is committed to The Science of Spectacular Living.

People of Adelaide – Sophie, The Human Rights Advocate

Story 8

She was born in Cambodia during Civil War when most of the population, urban and rural, were involved in a horrible massacre. There were hundreds of thousands Killing Fields where collectively more than a million people were murdered and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime. Sophie escaped the country and stayed in a refugee camp in neighbouring Thailand. She still remembers bomb attacks and scream of people losing their families.
She had to drop out of school to start helping her family. She raised cattle and worked hard on a farm from sunrise to sunset. Sophie organised a fair trade business and helped Cambodian farmers to sell their crops. She dedicated her life to solving problems of homeless people, drug and alcohol addicts, domestic violence victims and refugees.

Now Sophie is going to be a professional social worker and become committed to social justice. She will be working with people to support them through difficult times and ensure that vulnerable ones, including children and adults, are safeguarded from harm.

Look at Sophie. She lived out tough times, she faced a war, she helped distressed people. But she could withstand all hardship and stay joyful, bright and sunny person. Every time I see Sophie, she is laughing, she’s smiling, she is loving everyone. With all my respect: Sophie, you are amazing!

People of Adelaide – Natasha, The Genuine Artist

Story 6

Natasha is a dedicated artistic soul. She is an Actress, she is a Dancer, she is an Artist. Really good Makeup Artist. Like a virtuoso creating the whole world in his paintings, Natasha creates beauty on ladies’ faces, transforming them into divas.
She lives a “double life”: one belongs to the family where Natasha is a Mum, a Friend, a Driver, a Teacher, a Cook, a Psychologist. And her other life belongs to the Theatre. This is her passion, her game and her destiny. Being a natural born Actress, she can easily turn from a drama queen into a grotesque ingénue.
After getting enough proficiency in playing roles and being the Makeup Artist for the Theatre, Natasha is trying to be a stage director. I believe in her genuine talent and I’m looking forward to watching her work. All the best, Natasha.

People of Adelaide - Svetlana, The Garden Fairy

Story 5

One story would never be enough to tell about Svetlana. She is a Great Animal Lover, a Garden Fairy, the Hostess With The Mostess and a Member of Legal Brotherhood. Svetlana has three tertiary degrees and she moved to Adelaide from the busiest capital city with the population of 12 million people. She gave up her legal career to be a Garden Doctor and Possum Rescuer. Well, I’m joking: Svetlana is a migration lawyer here but gardening is her great passion, ‘a thing of beauty and a job forever’. Dozens of her friends, birds and animals are welcomed in the garden. May her garden always be green and blooming!

People of Adelaide – Stefano, The Tuscan Boy

Story 4

Stefano was born on Valentine’s Day and came to Adelaide from Tuscany, one of the most beautiful places in Italy.
Italians have always been famous for being real charmers and Stefano is the best one. He’s usually smiling, playful and has a great sense of humour. He’s independent, spontaneous, sympathetic, fun-loving, creative, sociable, cultured, polite, warm-hearted, kind and loyal. He is a flamboyant salsa amateur and brilliant pizza master chef. He is fashionable environmental advocate and green minded soul. He’s always having a good time and has a zest for life. Does it sound like a dazzling firework sparkles? Here is Stefano, un bravo amico mio.
