Description

Hello, I'm a university researcher, a Jungian coach, and a Jungian Tarot reader. And yes, I combine all three in my professional life :) I guess I don't like being put in just one box :)
I live with my husband Marcin in Scotland, but we're both Polish. We like hosting travellers on Couchsurfing, and sometimes we're being hosted ourselves. We like the idea of Couchsurfing and getting to know people that way.

What else?
*I love dogs, I do dog sitting and dog watching on voluntary basis. I learned a lot about dogs behaviour from books and professional films and love working with dogs applying the principles of animal communication. I general see myself as an animal person. I have deep respect for animals.
* I like spending time in nature! Going for a hike with my husband is my favourite way to spend weekends. And we are blessed in Scotland with fantastic hikes! (but not always a fantastic weather ;)
* I love yoga, have been practicing for more than 15 years. This is my main tool of taking care of myself

More details about your skills

Hello! I’m an adaptable and passionate traveller with a diverse skill set that makes me a great fit for various Workaway opportunities. I have many years of experience in teaching English, working with animals, and supporting personal growth through self-development workshops and holistic practices.

My love for animals has led me to work extensively with dogs—both in training and dog sitting. I understand canine behavior, enjoy building trust with dogs, and can help with obedience training or simply provide loving care while owners are away. Additionally, I have experience working on a farm, taking care of horses, ensuring their well-being, and assisting with stable duties.

In terms of hospitality and daily life, I'm good at cooking and housekeeping,like cleaning etc. I enjoy preparing delicious and nutritious meals, and I’m happy to help in kitchens, whether it’s cooking for a family or assisting in a guesthouse.

Beyond practical skills, I have a strong background in self-development and holistic practices. I’ve led personal growth workshops and taught people how to read tarot cards, helping them connect with their intuition and gain clarity in their lives. Additionally, I can teach basic yoga, focusing on relaxation, flexibility, and mindfulness, making it accessible for beginners.

I love meeting new people, sharing knowledge, and learning from others. Whether you need help with teaching English, taking care of animals, running a home or guesthouse, or adding some wellness and personal growth elements to your space, I’d be happy to contribute.

I’m open-minded, responsible, and eager to take on new challenges while embracing different cultures and ways of life. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded hosts and exchanging experiences!
