Descripción

My name is Glynnis (24, USA), and I am interested in art, culture, history, literature, language, and nature. I previously studied classical music (viola), and after spending several years working as a music teacher in the United States, I find myself needing a change.
I am traveling long-term, mostly in Western Europe, as a way to challenge myself, put myself out of my comfort zone, and better understand different ways of life. I feel that traveling brings out the best in me – putting myself in new, unfamiliar surroundings allows me to be more curious and attentive. I have always been an enthusiastic student, and the intellectual component of interfacing with new cultures brings me a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
I am naturally a quiet person, but love to have interesting conversations about art, history, and culture. However, I am quite introverted, and I value small moments of solitude throughout the day.

I am specifically looking to improve my Italian and German, but have a genuine interest in languages and am willing to learn some of the native language wherever I go.

Que habilidades tienes?

I am a quick learner and open to all kinds of work.
I absolutely love to get outside and am extremely keen to help with small construction projects and yardwork – especially gardening. I am also able and willing to help with animals, if needed.
I am also able to do all sorts of housework – cooking (vegetarian meals, mostly), baking, cleaning, laundry, sewing, knitting, small repair jobs. And I love artistic/creative projects, so if there’s anything more out-of-the-box that you need help with, I am more than happy to help out.
I have specific experience with education and childcare, having worked as a teacher for three years and as a part-time librarian for almost ten years. I also helped to raise my youngest sister, so I can work well with all ages. I am very studious, and have knowledge in a variety of disciplines.
I can teach English as well, if that is desired.

Algo más...

I value nature and ecology very much, and I love to make time in my day for walking outside. I am very much looking forward to discovering the local flora, fauna, geology, and geography of each region I visit.
I am an avid reader, and while I bought a little e-reader for my trip, I am very curious to know whether you have any English books in your home, or perhaps have access to a public library with an English-language collection!
I love creating and listening to all types of music. I studied classical viola performance, but can also play violin, cello, guitar, and ukulele. I can play piano as well (very poorly, I'm afraid). I’d love to make music together or discuss your favorite musical artists. I’m very interested in the Medieval and Renaissance periods, as well as the music of Mendelssohn, Schubert, Dvorak, Mahler, and Shostakovich. My favorite modern artists include David Bowie, Queen, the Talking Heads, and Led Zeppelin.
I am a very creative person, and love making small art projects. I hope to improve my drawing skills during my travels.
