Travelling
Description
Hello! My name is Barbora and I'm 26. I'm fresh out of college so I decided to take a year off and travel around Central America, which has always been my dream.
I grew up and studied in Prague, Czech Republic, but I also lived for some time in the US and on the island of Cyprus. I have a degree in American Literature and Culture, with an additional focus on the English language. Along with my studies, I've been working as a freelance writer, blogger, and content manager. After 6 years of working in this field, I decided it was time for a change.
I feel a great need to reconnect with nature and work with my hands. I'm also interested in spiritual knowledge and I'm open to any kind of new experience in this area. I would like to learn about different cultures as well as about myself. I believe that I'm an open-minded and tolerant person with great curiosity and capacity to learn new things. I've always been friendly and easy-going, independent and adventurous, well-organized with a bit of a wandering mind and a lively disposition.
Mexico and all the countries in Central America have been my dream destinations ever since I was a child. I have a great interest in local heritage, culture, nature, and spirituality. But I'm also ready for hard work and always willing to learn. If possible, I would like to improve my Spanish along the way – I can offer my knowledge of English in exchange (as well as Czech, for anyone interested). I'm friends with kids and pets of all kinds!
I believe in the constant necessity of challenging myself and a positive approach to life!
