  • Description

    Hi, I am a female from the USA currently living in Poland and teaching English. I have a passion for travel and have been living abroad since 2014. I spent 7 months in Paris, France, then 4 years in various cities in China, followed by 4 months in Peliatan, Bali, Indonesia, and now Warsaw Poland. I enjoy learning about other cultures, particularly the traditional food. I will be in Poland until June 2023 after which I will be looking for a workaway in India and somewhere in Africa with at least 1 month in each location. I am a happy Nomad.

  • More details about your skills

    I spent 34 years working in various positions of the YMCA, a not-for-profit youth-serving organization. When I retired I was the Associate Director. I have been teaching English abroad for almost 6 years. I enjoy cooking, writing, photography, and reading. My greatest skill is patience, although I feel confident in my teaching and cooking skills. I'm willing to give most things a chance.
