Description
Hello,
My name is Jonathan, I'm 30 and I'm from Galway in Ireland.
I studied History and English for four years at University in Dublin, and I have lived abroad in Italy, China, Poland and the UK.
I have worked as an English teacher to students from all over the world, during the pandemic I worked at Facebook, but since then I returned to teaching again... I couldn't stand being in an office! I plan to leave Dublin soon to travel again long term.
I love to meet new people, and learn about new culture and languages.
Some of my interests include music, yoga and dance.
I am a very motivated and hard working individual, and I enjoy helping others.
I look forward to hearing back from any interested hosts,
Kind regards
Jonathan
