Description
I enjoy helping people and learning. I am open to suggestions about new things to try. I might not try everything, but I do enjoy a good story and listening to intellectual conversation. I have chosen workaway, as I think this is a good way to expose myself to new adventures and force myself out of my comfort zone. I want to challenge myself to get out there and try new things. It is never too late to realize your dreams.

More details about your skills
I am currenty employed as a primary school science teacher at a private school in Moscow (going into my 5th year with them). Prior to this worked at language centres (first in China, then in Russia) teaching English and I also have online teaching experience. I have great administrative skills, which I developed during my previous career in a mortgage company (where I held several different positions from administration, to analytics, to consulting). I am happy to help with any kind of physical work, but please do not ask me to cook :)

What else ...
I am from a coastal town called Mossel Bay, in South Africa. This is a place which has beautiful sea and mountain views. I know a little kung fu, I like going on adventures with friends and am open to trying other adventurous activities with the help and guidance from others who are experienced. I am also learning to play the drums and piano - I am no real musician, but I like the challenge of developing different skills and keeping the mind active :)
