Hi!
My name is Ewa, I'm an open-minded and positive person. Love to travel, eat (and cook), climb, study, and spend quality time with quality people ;)
Soon to work & travel in NZ!
Ready to discover more of the world, learn new skills, understand cultures, and have fun ;)
Last 3 years have been quite eventful with studying Adventure & Outdoor Education in Finland and working as a Tour Leader in Scandinavia.
I have worked and lived in a few countries (Poland, USA, France, Finland & Norway). Currently tourism industry is my main professional path, and my experience consists of various jobs, such as Northern Lights Guide in Tromso (Norway), Safari Guide in Levi (Finland), and City Guide in Cracow (Poland). I went through working in a supermarket, call center, mountain huts, fruit picking, cooking, and babysitting, so the approach of not being afraid of any sort of job is still present ;)
I believe that communication is the key to solving most of life's issues and I am open to various types of work while doing work-away.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, climbing, and practicing yoga. I speak Polish, English & French. I believe that my strengths are: to do attitude, problem-solving skills, communication skills, and a good sense of humor ;)
Hope we can meet each other and make some great memories together! :)
