Hi, I am a female from the USA currently living in Poland and teaching English. I have a passion for travel and have been living abroad since 2014. I spent 6 months in Paris, France, then 4 years in various cities in China, followed by 5 months in Peliatan, Bali, Indonesia, and now Warsaw Poland. I enjoy learning about other cultures, particularly the traditional food. I will be in Poland until December 2024 after which I will be looking for a workaway in Albania and somewhere in Romania with at least 1 month in each location. I am a happy Nomad.

I spent 34 years working in various positions of the YMCA, a not-for-profit youth-serving organization. When I retired I was the Associate Director. I have been teaching English abroad for 10 years. I enjoy cooking, writing, photography, and reading. My greatest skill is patience, although I feel confident in my teaching and cooking skills. I'm willing to give most things a chance.

What else ...
I have a passion for travel and immersing myself in the local culture. I love cooking and learning to prepare native dishes. I write a blog and one day hope to publish a book. My blog can be found at wendyjmarvin.com. I will be spending summer 2024 working at a language camp on the Black Sea in Bulgaria (my 4th year with Zenira Camp). I am looking for a WorkAway from mid December 2024. I plan to leave Poland at that time and most likely go to Albania. I have no problem being a WorkAwayer over the holidays. I will be available for 2-3 months before meeting friends in Bucharest, Romania mid March 2025.
