Description

MY BACKGROUND

Hi there! I am a pan-European, a polyglot, and a world traveler. I have lived in 12 countries, studied at leading universities of 5 different countries and I speak 8 languages fluently. I am serious when I say I love getting to know different countries and cultures and understanding different people's cultural backgrounds and viewpoints.

I have mostly lived in Europe, plus China and Taiwan. I am very passionate about the Chinese speaking world -- I speak Mandarin fluently and I have done a lot of research about the Chinese and Taiwanese cultures. I have many stories to tell about the time I spent there and the things I have observed, if you are interested.

HOW I CAN CONTRIBUTE

Although I am very intellectual and creative and prefer to work with my brain, as I believe this is also the way I can contribute the most and share the most of my unique gifts, I also have a lot of professional and volunteering experience with various social and manual tasks. I on the brain-power level, I can contribute with content creation, teaching, translations, writing, proofreading, marketing, with which I have a lot of experience.

My other skills and professional experience include:

- I have previously worked in gastronomy as a waitress and barista, and in the hotel industry in various posts from the restaurant to all-around entertainment to management, communication and PR;
- I have vast experience with working as a private tutor and language teacher for children and adults alike, both privately and in groups and large classrooms;
- I am experienced with children of all ages;
- I love animals and nature, dogs love me and I know a thing or two about gardens and mushroom foraging;
- I have also worked as a marketing and communications manager, so I could help with marketing and social media presence.

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors - including hiking, skiing and snowboarding, swimming, scuba diving, surfing, climbing, biking, boating, canyoning, and running. And I am always up to learn or experience something new!

I am very high energy and can be very fun and entertaining when I am well resourced and feeling sociable. And I also pay attention to my energy levels, wellbeing and health and when I need resourcing, I retreat and rest, which can mean I get introverted and need some quiet time in solitude to do some meditation or yoga and maybe some journaling or a nature walk. I think balance is very important and so are moments of privacy and calmness.

I meditate a lot and work with energy. I am a life coach specializing on emotional intelligence, the mind-body connection, embodiment and trauma healing. I am certified breath-work instructor. I also know a thing or two about yoga, qi gong, de-armoring, NLP, emotional alchemy, and tantra.

I try to live a healthy lifestyle which includes eating a healthy diet of mainly vegetables and good proteins and I don't normally drink alcohol. However, I am also not rigid about either of the above, because I think balance and feeling good and relaxed is key to good health and well-being! Rigidity is even more harmful than eating "unhealthy" foods or having the occasional glass of wine, in my opinion. In essence, I try to live in the moment, listen to my body and feel good! We are here to enjoy this life!

I like cooking, though I usually keep it simple and healthy, so I can't promise you boeuf bourguignon or homemade pizza on the daily!
