Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am an experienced teacher currently travelling in Asia to connect, support, and stay fully present and open to new experiences.
I am Polish but I have been living and teaching in The UK for last 8 years.
I enjoy meaningful cultural exchange and living close to people, nature, and community.
I bring creativity, patience, and adaptability from my work in education, along with a love of singing, which I often use to bring warmth and connection to shared spaces.
I practice yoga and meditation, which keep me grounded and open-minded while travelling.
I am also a forager, herbalist, and currently studying art therapy, with a deep curiosity for nature, wellbeing, and creative expression.
I am happy to help wherever needed—teaching, childcare, gardening, or general support—and I enjoy learning through doing and sharing everyday life with others.

More details about my language interests
Languages and communication have always been a big part of my life. My Master's degree is in Language and Communication, and I also have a degree in teaching English. I've been teaching English and Logic for over 20 years. But I've learnt that words and logic are only part of communication. Music, movement, colour, art, kindness, and even a smile can say just as much. I'm always looking for new ways to connect with people, adapting the way I teach and communicate to different ages, personalities, learning styles, and kinds of intelligence. For me, the best communication is the one where everyone feels understood—and has fun along the way !

More details about your skills

I love exchanging experiences with people. For me, teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. I've been a teacher for more than 20 years, but I still feel like I'm learning every day from the people I meet.

I have a Master's degree in Philosophy and a Bachelor's degree in English Language Teaching. I'm grateful for my education, but I honestly think that an open mind, a warm heart, and curiosity are much more important than diplomas. That's the kind of person I try to be.

I love singing and I'm currently learning about art therapy because I'm fascinated by how creativity can help people grow and heal.

Nature is my real home. I feel happiest among trees, rivers, hills, and animals. I also love the sea and I'm a scuba diver, so whenever I get the chance, I enjoy exploring the underwater world too.

I'm always happy to share my teaching experience, but I'm just as happy learning something completely new. Whether it's helping with languages, working in a garden, caring for animals, or simply sharing everyday life, I believe everyone has something to teach and something to give.

What else ...

Outside of work, you'll usually find me in nature. I love foraging for wild mushrooms, herbs, and edible plants—it always feels like a little treasure hunt! I sing every day because music brings me joy, and I have a daily meditation and yoga practice that helps me stay calm, present, and grateful.
I love travelling, hiking, swimming, and discovering new places and cultures. I'm happiest when I'm learning something new, sharing stories, laughing with people, and spending time outdoors.
