Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am originally from Poland, and I've lived in the UK half my life now.
I work as a live-in carer for the elderly, meaning I look after clients in their own homes. I also work on my online projects (numerology readings and teaching English).
I've recently renewed my membership and decided I want to do more travelling. So far I've been to 30 counties and counting!

I love animals and being around them. I’m into personal development & spirituality.

What I'm good at:
I can help you with English
I can do a sample numerology reading for you
I can cook something delicious
I'm good at cleaning and tidying

I look forward to my next workaway experience!

More details about your skills

I grew up on a farm in Poland surrounded by animals and nature, moved to the UK when I was in my early 20s, I worked as an au-pair to start with. I completed my studies in London (MA in Translation), I worked a bit as a freelance translator and proofreader, telephone interpreter, taught English in person and via Skype, invigilated exams, worked in an office for a charity in the UK, and social and elderly care.

I have experience in teaching English as a foreign language (over 1000 hours taught) and my preference is to teach adults. I did 3 weeks as a Mentor with Angloville in the Summer of 2022 and did a TEFL Certificate. I am good at explaining grammar features and am very patient.

I had a greenhouse and grew my own vegetables at one point, I love animals, especially cats and donkeys. I like cooking, love vegetarian and vegan food.

I'm into personal development and spirituality and I do numerology readings based on 4 systems of numerology. I'm attuned to Reiki and can send it to you or your animals!
I love the idea of minimalism and found it very freeing.
