More details about your skills

I speak English, Polish and French fluently and intermediate Spanish. I'm fascinated by all languages and enjoy picking up on the local languages wherever I'm travelling.

I completed a CELTA course in 2018 to teach English as a second language but have not had the opportunity to make use of the skills I gained from the program just yet - I'm hoping to strengthen my teaching skills through Workaway!

I'm very adaptable and open to new experiences - I traveled solo in Europe in my early twenties and backpacked India for 3.5 months (to this day, the best travel experience I've ever had!)

I have extensive experience in hospitality, customer service and management.

My past volunteer experiences include English conversation classes with Tibetan monks in India for a few weeks and volunteering a couple hours a week for 6 months as front desk support for a non profit yoga studio in Vancouver, Canada. I worked reception and organized events for 2 months in a hostel in Guadalajara, Mexico and spent 1 wonderful month with a family outside of San Cristóbal de las Casas, helping them with gardening and carpentry. My most recent workaway was spent at a language school in Tehuacán.

I'm very active and enjoy trail running and hiking!
