Description
Hi and welcome to my profile!:)
I'm Kristine. Born and raised in Latvia but the last 5 years have mostly spent in UK. I have graduated from the University of East London and have a bachelor's degree in Urban Dance Practice. Now I have changed my career path and I am about to finish a course in Soft Tissue Therapy.
Helping others I find very fulfilling. Seeing that I have made a positive contribution to this world gives me very rewarding feeling. I am also always interested in getting to know different people, cultures, and ways of living. Diversity of this world truly fascinates and inspires me. These are also the main reasons why I have joined the Workaway community.
I would describe myself as a calm, reliable, and respectful person. I am hardworking and always take seriously the responsibilities entrusted to me. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for me to open up to new people but as a person, I am very friendly. I love to socialize, however, I also need time alone to recharge:) I am really keen on learning and gaining new knowledge and skills. There is so much in this world that I would like to be able to do and know.Interests
