Description
Currently in a sabbatic year, more than travelling I am open to new experiences. There is always an opportunity to share and learn from others.
I lived few years abroad, in Asia, Japan and Hong Kong and nearly 9 years in Chile.
I also did some student summer jobs in the UK and the US, working in restaurant or on a sailing ship.
I did quite a lot of travelling but will be more interested now to stay longer in fewer places, taking the time to share experiences with local from the place.
