India - from Oct 2023 until Dec 2024 View allDescription
Hello! My name is Anjali. I grew up in a small town in northern India. I've always been curious about different ways of living and thinking, which has taken me all across the globe, studying, working and travelling.
I've spent most of my life in India, and a few years in Singapore and the USA as a student (and part-time teacher). Teaching brings me a lot of joy :)
I also enjoy cooking, reading and nature-walks. I admire ancient Indian wisdom, and believe deeply in the principles of ayurveda, yoga, and meditation. I try to learn and inculcate these in my lifestyle as much as I can. I have also been passionate about exploring new genres of music all my life, and am eager to learn to play an instrument myself.
I am on a sabbatical currently and looking for opportunities to make meaningful contributions, travel to more unexplored places, learn new life-skills, make new friends and have fun conversations!Interests

I am fluent in English and Hindi (native speaker), and in general am excited about learning new languages. I am good with math, science and computer code. I have served as a teaching assistant and lecturer to undergraduate students in the USA for around 5 years, and I love to teach.
I can also cook decent Indian vegetarian meals, and love learning new recipes. Also, I'm good with kids. I haven't done a lot of pet-sitting before, but I am eager to start!( I love dogs, and all animals in general). I am also good with general housekeeping - cleaning and organizing and maintaining order.
I learnt basic water, fabric and oil painting as a child and although I haven't pursued these as an adult, I believe I can still contribute to basic arts and crafts work for my hosts.Age

What else ...
I love playing Scrabble and badminton (the childhood version though :) ), and enjoy most card games. I also have been listening to various genres of music since childhood, and would love to learn to play an instrument myself.
Oh and I love rollercoasters!Some more information
