I am currently

Description

I am a high school graduate and will be taking a gap year starting this summer. During this time, I plan to travel through the United Kingdom. I am excited about broadening my horizons, learning new skills, and meeting new people. My goal is to improve my English by speaking as much as possible.
I am very adventurous, enjoy spending time with friends, love animals, and like being outdoors. I have many hobbies, including judo, hiking, skiing and snowboarding, horse riding, football, singing, playing the guitar and saxophone, painting, reading, and cooking.

More details about your skills

I have led several children’s camps and worked as a judo coach for children for two years. I have also babysat on several occasions. It is important to me to spend a lot of time outdoors in nature. I also have experience with animals. I have a cat, used to keep rabbits for many years, and often go horse riding during the holidays. I also know a little about wild plants and enjoy cooking with them. At home, I have cleaned all the windows several times, pulled weeds, planted onions in the garden, altered my clothes or sewn new items, and made small pieces of furniture myself. I really enjoy music, love singing, and play both classical guitar and saxophone.

What else ...

My English level is quite good, and I can read books in English without any problems. However, I have had little practice speaking, so I am not yet fully fluent. I am confident, though, that I will improve quickly and be able to speak English well soon.
