Description

Hello! My name is Marina and I am very excited to become a workawayer :)

Why I have decided to come to Thailand? Easy answer: it will be my first solo travel to another country and I could not imagine any other place than this one, where nature and good vibes are mixed. I love working in difficults areas full of difficulties, that's where I feel that I can help more. I love giving all what I know in order to learn from it. I love diversity and I truly belief that education is the most important key to create a better world, full of people with aims to help others:)
I am travelling to this country with an idea to stay as long as I feel I need to be there, which means that after having the expirience I might be travelling around (or maybe I decide to stay, who knows!)

My friends define me as a happy flower, always smiling and laughing; transmiting good vibes. I am an explorer so I love travelling whenever I can. I also think that I am a very responsible person, conscious and dedicated to everything I do, as well as passionate. I love nature so hiking and walking around trees makes my day happy; I practice climbing and I love all kinds of sport in general (I'm an active person who avoids being all the time closed indoors). I love learning new things as well as teaching them to others. About me, I would say that I am an open-minded person that adapts easily to difficult situations, having this capacity to reorganize everything in less than a minute.
If you want to know me better, don't hesitate to ask me! :):)

More details about your skills

I finished this year my career as a primary teacher (6-12 years old). During this four years, I have been working in three different schools for several months and in differents group ages. I love teaching and it makes me feel happy becuase at the end, it's my vocation. Also, I have been already for several years working as a monitor (someone who leads the session) in extra school activitis like teaching english and also teaching sports (climbing, rollerskating, skate, football, basketball, ...). I have been working also in summer camps with teenagers and kids and in other areas like recepcionist in hotels and waitress, in restaurants and luxury hotels.

I have an advanced level in english (C1) acreditaded with a certificate and I have been living abroad beacuse of my studies in the Netehrlands for almost 6 months, where all the classes and works were asked mandatory in English.

In my future, I want to develop and innovative project related to education so I think that by learning how education is in different countries, as well as different methods and ways, I can have this diverse and cultural vision about education from the inside, by experimenting it and not only by reading it.
