Description
I am a sporty (fitness, cycling, skiing, swimming, walking, in the past did a lot of white-water rafting), healthy, energetic woman and prefer active style of life.
I enjoy learning new things, love travelling and investigate new places, cultures and cuisines. By education I am a linguist, but worked mostly as a manager. For about 15 years I was a project coordinator in international projects targeted to local development in my country, such as creating social work centers for unemployed people, providing support to Belarusian farmers, stimulating entrepreneurial activities of women in rural areas, etc. During the last 4 years I worked as a head of the representative office of a Dutch seed company, and now work for the same company as a consultant. I also volunteer for a couple of NGOs that deal with vulnerable groups of people. Besides, I have experience as a teacher of English.
All my life I work in the garden around our summer house and already for many years I have been taking care of a flower bed in front of the building I live in.
I love languages, sun, nature, energetic people and good sense of humor.
My dream always was to learn a foreign language from native speakers in natural environment. I took a course if Italian, but never used it in practice, and would very much like to try.
