I got my CPE and am soon finishing the CELTA course, starting to look into my possibilities..
I would love to work as a TA or teach English. I'm only interested in long term positions that would be meaningful and provide me with the opportunity to learn another language in depth.
Projects opportunities lasting at least three months from April, July or September will be considered.
I will prefer offers that reimburse travel expenses or include some kind of sponsorship.

I try to find balance between contributing to common good and enjoying myself. I'm very self-disciplined if there is a meaning. I'm a mature person although of course my answers are not final and often I dwell in the paradoxes we create. Nevertheless it's all a beautiful mystery to me and I'm positive in approach. I challenge myself to make compromises and understand before judging. I may seem rather naive as my character inclines more towards love than towards power.
Cheerful introvert, tolerant, patient, creative, adaptable, responsible. Im a nonsmoker prefering vegetarian food. I'm in a very good physical and psychological condition ready to work and share a moment in time which provides a great opportunity to meet something new and learn from each other. I'm a double dropout who prefers to let curriculums arise spontaneously with the grace of joy.. Nowadays I'm particularly attracted to (post)modern myths, ambient and postrock music, Spanish, ideologies, urbanism, modes of harmony, erotica, sustainable lifestyles, abstract expressionism, improvisation, performance, local identities, life patterns, landscapes, theism and plenty of other funny stuff. I play the guitar, the bass, piano and synths, tiny bit of percussions, I love to awkwardly sing and dance in private. Now and then I'm inspired by the giants such as Saul Bellow, Gary Snyder and other Beats, Henry Miller, King Crimson, The Pixies, Peter Hammill, Terry Gilliam, John Cassavettes, Andrej Tarkovskij etc..
Living in different countries I've been earning my living as a social worker working with kids and people with physical or mental difficulties, alternative teacher of English, music, sports and gardening, diy builder and community farmer so I can share my little insight in these essentially human things if you're interested. I'd really like somebody to teach me some vegetarian/vegan cooking, introduce me into brass instruments or just take me to their favorite place!

I prefer towns or not too big cities where culture and nature meet to create an inspiring place for life.
The working conditions should be discussed in detail ad hoc. I think its a fair standard to work around 25 hours a week having two days off while getting accommodation and good quality fresh food three times a day in return. I really appreciate if the working tasks are defined clearly with a plan of what is when to be done and enough time for short refreshments.
