Hello Dear Hosts,
I am active, adventurous, enthusiastic person with a great passion to travel, learn and explore. I have a university degree . I am a professional economist who wrote her articles/publications, but choose to move from the career to freedom of travel-living lifestyle.
I have been travelling around the world as a part of cruise ship team for 8 years, and on holiday in between. I have been in more than 50 countries and lived in some of them as well. Some of destination include Caribbean, Bermuda, Mediterranean, East and West coast of the USA, Hawaii, Asian coastal cities from Bangkok to Beijing.
During the past years I acquired various professional experiences of the big ships and sailing boats in housekeeping, restaurant, and accounting services. Working on the cruise ship is a lifetime memorable experience but it is time to move forward.
I speak English, Russian, Ukrainian and little Spanish.
I believe life is full of wonders and its quality depends only on us. Getting older I realize the true value is time. We cannot acquire have more or less of our time but can make the best of its quality.
I am happy , positive and open minded. I care about the environment and people around. I am naturally quiet and prefer stay out of noisy places. I am mature, hard-working, responsible person. In the same time I keep my mind open to new knowledge and my soul to new adventures.
Living in different places / cultures brings you better knowledge about the world around and your place in. Different experiences help to develop new skills.
I love meeting new people, and trying different things, sharing the stories and experiences.
Working in tourist industry I acquired good customer service skills to make sure guests have the most of the best of their free time. And I always apply golden rule into the relations.
I do not smoke. I do not have kids/pets . I love the nature, outdoors, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and all other things outdoors can offer. I am free to explore different destinations.
I am especially interested to volunteer in projects connected with environmental care, research and preservation, marine life care etc. Also, long term (2 month and more) housesitting or inn-keeping would be a great option.
The happiness is a journey, not a destination. The world is big and full of exiting opportunities. Everyone can choose different roads, to find a way to best yourself. And in the same time provide meaningful service to give back to the world to make it better.Languages spoken
