Description

Hi! My name is Iga and I'm a student of Japanese Studies from Poland. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've volunteered in shelter caring for stray cats. I was also a member of different foundation-I was raising funds for farm animals welfare. At home, I live with two adopted dogs, a cat and a rabbit. I've also fostered rescue dogs in the past. I spent several years horseback riding as a child/teenager so I feel confident working with larger animals too. I follow a vegetarian diet but I'm completely fine with vegan food as well.
I love yoga and I practice it regularly, I also train Krav Maga (self-defence system)-I'd be happy to share some basics with anyone interested!
In high school, I studied drawing, painting and sculpture so I really enjoy creative and hands-on tasks. Whether it's decorating, painting or small artistic project, I'm always happy to get involved.
I've also traveled quite a bit, including a high school exchange program and I really enjoy adapting to new places and cultures.
I also sang in a choir for many years so I'm always happy to take part in anything music-related :)
I'm open-minded, friendly and happy to help with all kinds of tasks-from animal care and housework to creative activities and playing with children (I really enjoy being around kids!).
I speak Polish and English and I'm learning Japanese- if you're curious about the language or writing systems like hiragana or katakana I'd be happy to teach you some basics!
