  • Description

    It's really hard to answer the question: why I wanna travel? For a brief time, I thought that I need the distance to look back from, observing my life and finding out who I really am and where I'm heading to. Now I know that aside of the perspective, I need experience too. The humbleness of living out something, not just theorize about it. Moving out of my comfort zone is scary, but exciting too. But there is more to it. The voice, what tells me loudly at times, and silently most of the time: go! Go already! You don't want to became a person, who, when he looks back, have to feel resentment and regret because he not even tried to accomplish his personal story. While I was busy with work and my studies in the university, it was easy to silence this voice, delay the departure, and settle for the vision of the (non-existent) possibilities... but I know now that the time has come.

    I'm really interested in far-eastern cultures, especially the traditional, rural japanese lifestyle. One of my more articulated goals is to find inspiration to make my art (poetry, painting, novel writing) more colorful and true. I'm able and will work hard, since I find nobleness in the simplicity of hard labor. I'm a gardener and a park maintenance person with years of experience. My univeryity years studying social pedagogy dulled me a little, but I'm always ready to pick up the work where I left it. While hard work is not new to me, I'm into more sophisticated things too: I have experience with children and elderly people as a social worker, worked with mentally and physically disabled people for a year in a foundation, and did my fair share of volunteering in my country too. In recent years, I have begun to pursue an old dream of mine and have studied to become a journalist so that I can continue my decade and a half of online content creation at a professional level. I currently write cover interviews and articles for two magazines.

    In addition, I'm into photography, painting and cooking, always ready to learn and share. Aside of those half-serious hobbies, I love watching good movies, listening classical and traditional folk music, playing video games, go hiking, travel at the countryside, and of course, meet new and interesting people, and experience the various ways of being.

  • More details about your skills

    My original profession is gardener. I worked years tending plants, doing various outdoor labour, and taking care of parks, greenhouses and foil tents. I like that kind of monotonity. It has its own charming tranquility.
    I went to a catholic university after a while, and got my degree in social pedagogy. Worked with people, young and old, healthy, sick or disabled. Can't say that I'm an all time smiler, with dinamic, extroverted personality, but I make up for it with strong will, humbleness and hard work.

    My english is pretty good since I practicing it for a few decades now. Being able to teach is a very welcomed bonus of my studies, so sharing is not an issue. I can cook moderately well, and I know my way around the house. Creative writing, blogging and poetry are very important to me, just like photography and painting. I'm an artsy person above all.
