Description

Hey there! I’m Ivan, and I genuinely love connecting with people and diving into new experiences hands-on.

My background is a bit of a mix – I’m an engineer who’s always enjoyed getting my hands dirty with practical projects, whether it’s fixing things, building, or figuring out how stuff works.

But I’m also a certified English teacher (TEFL) and have spent years in classrooms sharing language and culture with students.

Since 2005, I’ve been volunteering in various roles – from reception work to guest services and helping old people – and I’ve discovered I really thrive in those face-to-face interactions where I can make someone’s day a little brighter.
I’ve even taken cooking courses along the way because, why not?

I love picking up new skills and challenging myself. Friends describe me as warm and easy-going, and I keep things healthy – no bad habits here!

What excites me most is the chance to immerse myself in different cultures, swap stories with interesting people, and pitch in wherever I’m needed. Whether it’s a technical challenge or welcoming guests with a smile, I’m all in.

Can’t wait to meet you and see what adventures
