Descripción

Hello! My name is Tanya and at the moment I am taking a long break from my job in Australia (I'm a teacher) and I'm travelling the world. I would like to describe myself as a free spirit who seeks adventure and new experiences.
I like to live an active lifestyle, with some of my hobbies including yoga, bouldering, skateboarding, snowboarding, swimming, running and hiking. I believe that our bodies are capable of doing so much, and with routine and consistency, it is amazing to see the positive impacts that your physical wellbeing has on your mental wellbeing. Learning to have better control over our bodies and pushing yourself to do your best is also a skill that I immensely enjoy learning!
I also feel very fulfilled when I create, as art as always been a big part of my life. I like to play piano and write my own songs, and I spend a lot of time drawing/painting. Learning how to paint with watercolours is something new I am learning right now!
Another weird hobby/fun fact about me is that I love collecting moss. :) When I was at home, I would make a lot of terrariums. I am also a huge plant lover! (I once counted how many plants I owned and it added up to more than 100...)

Tanya -
I graduated with a teaching degree in foreign languages (teaching Chinese and Japanese), but I have also worked as a piano teacher and snowboard instructor. I love learning new things and I believe I can learn them quite quickly. Some skills I have include:
- Teaching Music
I have been playing piano since the age of 4 and obtained my AMEB Grade 8 Certificate. I also enjoy writing my own songs in my spare time and it is something that gives me great joy when I can share my music with others.
- Caring for Plants
This is a hobby that flourished when I moved out of my parent's place. I started buying a lot of plants and propagating them, I also spend a lot of time making my own terrariums with moss I collect on hikes. I would love to learn more about gardening and honestly, anything plant-related gets me excited!
- Caring for Animals
I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat at home, so I'm very comfortable with animal care.
- Physical Labour
I'm aware that I am quite physically small, but I'm also very fit! I usually try to fit in two sports a day (running in the morning before work and another sport after work). I also worked as a snowboard instructor over the winter (which is very physically demanding!). I really enjoy physical labor and exercise because I love pushing my body to the limits (and just getting stronger feels great!).
- Yoga
I'm not a licensed yoga instructor but I have been doing yoga quite consistently for the past 3 years. I've had a few experiences where I would run a mini-class for my friends and family and it's always been a fun time! I also started meditating a few months ago, and it is also an activity I quite like doing/sharing with others.
- Art
I pride myself as a creative person as I have been in love with art for as long as I can remember. I draw a lot in my sketchbook and I have recently started to teach myself how to watercolor paint. I believe that art is a tool for self-expression, and I love sharing and inspiring others to be creative. The biggest project I have completed recently is painting/drawing my own design on my snowboard (which got a lot of attention when I was snowboarding, and I felt very proud of the results!).
