Travel information

I am currently

Description

I live in Cracow, in the south of Poland, which is a great city but whenever I have some free time I try to explore more or less distant places. I've been lucky enough to have volunteered and/ or travelled in different places on four continents but now that I have a more stable job, it's not always easy.
I'm passionate about mountains and hiking is my favourite pastime. I also love literature and learning about different cultures. I enjoy meeting new people and learning new skills. Leading as green a lifestyle as possible is very important to me. I've recently moved to my own flat and now I'm all about plants (growing, transplanting, propagating ... and simply admiring!).

More details about your skills

- I work as an English teacher at a univeristy in Cracow. I've also worked in a secondary school, so I have experience working with teenagers (sometimes difficult ones...).
- I also do some translation/ interpreting work, including making subtitles so I can be helpful if you need to make a promotional video clip for your business.
- I have worked in different customer service positions, so I'm good at dealing with the public.
- I hear I'm a good cook, I love going to an open air market in my city, get fresh produce and experiment in the kitchen.
- I can look after children. (I'm my nephew's and niece's favourite aunt. And yes, they do have more than one.)
- I speak French fluently so can practise with you if you wish to improve your speaking skills.
- I'm quick to learn and willing to gain new skills; carrying heavy weights and doing physical work don't scare me at all :)

What else ...

I'm flexible, not really particular about food so hosting me should be an easy task :)
