Activities i am interested in:

I'm in Croatia, interested in shorter workaway trips with my son, a school boy.

Description

Dear hosts,
I'd love to show the world to my son and I'm very grateful when we can make it more fun with you!

Work away is a travel for my little family as I adore beaches and museums, but I love good people more than that!
Let's bring some holidays into your life and let's bring some life into our holidays!
As a profesional journalist in the past, copywriter now, I have many digital skills, but I can't offer much of those when I travel.
I can give you advice though and have a look at anything digital you do.

I'm an auntie and a dedicated single parent, so being with kids is very natural to me, play with them, read, draw, ball games etc.

I also cook quite well, for not too many people, Italian, Mediterranean dishes.

I know some about gardening, wall painting the walls, interiour decoration, hospitality business, xoga, etc.
.
As a person I am open-minded, full of ideas, active, kind of ADHD which is why I plan a lot, but change that, too.

I appreciate and try to offer clear open communication, warmth and responsibility with some flexibility (being a parent.


More about me:

* I have participated in Couchsurfing since 2007 as a surfer, host and a traveller. I can send you my profile for more references. I am a Work Away host and have hosted people up to three months, to help with my son or some outdoor projects.

* I lived and worked in India for 2 years. I worked in marketing in an American startup, and taught English in schools. It turned me upside down much more than 17 years of formal education.

* Life is short - Just do it. Or don't do it, for the same reason.
