Description

hello my name is Kiran a 21year old from Belgium who just finished a course in outdoor sports and wilderness guiding. From a young age I've always been facinated by the world and it's natural wonders.
But I also like to make an impact on people lives and love having interactions with people.
As a student I've worked in various positions theirfor always challenging myself to create new skills and learning to find my ways in doing things if I don't know it.
with my course I have allot expirience working with children for organising sportdays for them but also with adults and guiding them on adventurous trips and in challenging environments.
And in my current job I work in a children's theater so I get allot of interactions their to and in a more creative environment. For the passed three years I've also worked in a youth hostel in the kitchen, reception and nightshift theirfor im fluent in Dutch, English and if I must say so speak pretty decent French. Since I'm now traveling in Latin America I'm practicing my Spanish but it is still very basic.

More details about my language interests
I've had french in school for the past 8 years, so i'm able to have a decent conversation with people, i'm able to explain verbs and different tenses. I'm fluent in dutch and english and i'm able teach it because I live in a dutch speaking country and my mom is a native English speaker and we've always talked English at home. And no matter what language i'm around, i'd LOVE to learn how to talk, write and understand a bit more about the language.

What else ...

As a kid i've always loved being outside enjoying and playing.
Now that i'm older i still have that if i sit inside all day and do nothing then i will get bored really quick, so theirs always something that i will be able to do. It's not that i don't enjoy a relaxing day but i prefer being outside and working, but I don't have any problems either with renovating the inside of a house or something else because i'm still busy.

When i'm outside with friends i love playing card games and having a good laugh.
Also i love playing card/board games with my grandparents.

Throughout the years I've had allot of hobby's/sports, I've played tennis, ballet and i cycled competitively on a high level in Belgium training around 15-20h per week.
In school i've followed allot of art directions I've done drawing, audio-visual arts, photography but now i'm finishing high school in sports.
