Description
Hi there, I am an online English teacher that can also teach French, Spanish and Portuguese, an ex kickboxing teacher and ex personal trainer that speaks Portuguese and Spanish and still learning everyday along with any other skills as I always try and learn something new and progress everyday and I can help you with whatever you like in any field also as I am always up for new challenges and learning more skills. I enjoy keeping fit, travelling, kickboxing, surfing, playing and teaching guitar hiking, trekking, camping, cooking new dishes, writing stories from my degree in screenwriting, speaking and learning new languages.

I have been working since 2004 where I started working in retail and the cooking industry, I got my degree in screenwriting in 2008 and worked in various jobs around that time as bartender, in retail selling clothes and making and serving coffee at coffee shops. I taught kickboxing from 2008-2010 along with being a personal trainer in the day for two years. In 2011 I travelled the United States with my half of my family as they live in USA in NY and Miami. In 2012 I worked construction and labour work in Schipol Airport in Holland and lived and worked there until 2014 as I was getting the travel bug.

In 2014 I got my teaching certificate and I taught, lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for 1 year, then around various different schools in Slovakia for one year, then Mexico for 1 year and then the Maldives for 1 year where I finally had enough experience to teach online and have freedom in which I decided to teach and explore the place I've always wanted to for ten years- South America. I started doing workaway in 2017 in Argentina, cleaning, construction, painting and decorating a house in Tigre, Buenos Aires and taking their dogs for walks. I then did bartending, making and serving drinks in a hostel I Foz de Iguacu, Brazil ontop of cleaning around the hostel from workaway. I Then did construction and painting on an up and coming club in Isla Verde in Rosario, Argentina from Workaway. Since then I cancelled my account since you had to start paying for it and I've been teaching online around South America and learning the languages. I am very flexible, i only eat one meal a day as I learnt to do intermittent fasting on my travels and working abroad to save money and I can help you in anyway you like and I look forward to helping you soon.

This was one of the best experiences in my life, in 3 weeks I learnt so much, Tony and Magda are probably the coolest Czech people I've ever met after my many months staying and working around Czechia. Magda is probably the best cook I've come across, I had the most substantial and tastiest food I've ever had. Tony and Magda are so intelligent and… read more

Aaron was with us for 3 weeks. He is an easy going, very hard worker who always aimed to please.
Aaron helped with mundane garden and house tasks such as weeding, window and exterior blind cleaning, as well as some very physical tasks such as moving 70 palisades weighing 40 Kg each and digging a large area of land with a fork and then tilling it… read more

Staying with Errol and Ondrej wasn't just the best Workaway experience, it was one of the best experiences of my life. We wake up watch the sun rise high in the mountains in the most peaceful idyllic, enchanting place one could ever imagine and get to work all day with feet touching the earth, and in the sun amongst nature, hardly ever have I felt… read more more refreshed and invigorated from doing work, it beats an office job hands down. Then Errol would could the most delicious dishes that would put Gordon Ramsay out of business and that he should really open up a restaurant to get super rich from the quality of homegrown food and Errols cooking is worthy of any hours of work. Errol and Ondrej are both super intelligent, great kind men that have created a little heaven they deserve and is worthy of the utmost respect. It's so refreshing to meet people on the same wave length as me, real, honest true, strong people. We talked about the circumstances of the world in-between work and about everything and since I've been travelling the world for ten years it holds a special place in my heart that someone like Errol and Ondrej know and and I could speak English with. I'm already missing the experience and the feeling from it and it will always be close to me. Even though I was a bit slow with catching on after not doing workaway for a couple years, it whipped me into shape and made me feel alive again with their great, healthy way of living. They are both super cool also, you can relax and talk to them about anything. By the end Ondrej and Errol helped me become a better person after I was living like a savage for too long around Brazil. This is by far the best Workaway experience I've ever had and I don't think anything can match it. I just wish I could go back and do it all again but with me knowing the rules and being a better, cleaner person thanks to them both to thank them for the best experience they've given me. Errol taught me many things about Gardening that will stay with me for life, sometimes the work wasn't strenuous but calming and very therapeutic when it wasn't a good workout. They are both great story tellers also and with an unfathomable, limitless insight to the world that you could listen to their insights for hours. I could go on and on but I'm sure they're probably tired of that also 😂. Each day with them was a great fulfilling day living life in many ways how it's supposed to be lived in this day, pushing the oneself amongst great people, animals and nature and sharing the best food amongst conversation. I just hope they catch that mole. I'm always here for you guys as I wish I came when you had the 6 truck loads worth of soil and all the heavy lifting to burn off my (sometimes annoying) boundless energy, but if you ever have any projects or work like that in the future or anything at all I'm always here for you two. I wish you all the best and I'll always remember and hold our time together close Errol and Ondrej, Thank you.
