Description

Damn!! I never know what to say when I need to say something about me...
It's like on those times when you meet someone and you are asked to say something in a language you know (may be even your own) and suddenly you forget "literally EVERYTHING"

I lOVE cats, small cars with big tires, mechanics, nature (rain, storms, mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, hikes, sunsets, sunrises, winter, really cold temperatures, and white nights in the northern hemisphere), also: foreign languages...living abroad, philosophy, and over all discovering, trying new things and feeling useful.

I am calm, friendly (although sometimes too quiet), hardworking, curious, compromised. I like tinkering with stuff...
I believe I am mostly stoic, but perhaps I am more of a fatalist? I believe that "whatever will be, will be... and that nothing lasts an eternity"

Like many (who are here i assume) I'm trying to find my place in the world. I stream to be useful while i do it.

I was born in Mexico... I have lived in Thailand (volunteering with AFS as an English Teacher), the US (visiting my relatives), Poland (studying a semester abroad). I currently live in Arkhangelsk (Russia). I originally came for a year to learn the language (a childhood dream).I liked it so much...It's been almost 3 years despite world events.

I am an English-Spanish translator/teacher.
In Russia: I study russian language and literature... I also work part time in a cat shelter with 200 little sweet souls.

I tried Workaway for the first time this fall (2024) during a one month adventure that ended attending my mom's wedding in England ... I LOVED THE EXPERIENCE.

I wrote quite a lot already for someone who didn't know what to say...
There is however, still a lot to share...
You could take something of a deeper glance if you want by checking my social media:

I have 3 instagram accounts:
- with cat pictures @ifuckinglovecatss
-with my car project @badcarchoices
-with pictures of russian nature @Hanzenrusia

Before covid hit i wanted to Aupair in France. This was my video submission:

I am good with the elderly (I'm a good listener and walk partner), I am great with children (I always wanted to be an Aupair but...opportunities for men are few...and when i finally found one...COVID)
