Unique experiences bring me happiness! I want to learn from others and explore things I am unfamiliar with. I want to share my skills and experiences with others and be part of a community. I want to use and challenge both my mind and body to serve on a project. Looking forward to many amazing adventures helping on projects with people from around the globe!

I would like to share my language skills, however, I have no formal training in teaching but have life experience teaching and helping my children with both English and French. I have hosted many ESL students and helped them improve their verbal English. I have had a little bit of exposure to teaching French in a west African after-school care centre. I'm definitely interested in learning more languages! Once you have mastered the language you can immerse yourself so much further into a culture.

I consider myself very adaptable and resourceful to make things work in the situation I'm in. I'm not one to seek attention but would rather blend in as a contributing member of a team. I'm quite used to working on my own (working mostly in smaller companies or from home) and managing my workload.

Algo más...
Growing up I spent a lot of time with ponies and horses and used to help with classes and horse riding camp. I haven't done much horseriding lately but every once in a while I do still get on a horse. I would be very interested in projects with horses or even other animals. Never had my own pets but do enjoy animals.
I am an active person and have tried many sports but haven't really excelled in these such as volleyball, soccer, badminton, table tennis, darts, pool, roller skates/blades, canoeing/kayaking/SUP. I can row a row boat. No sailing experience, but interested.
I practiced martial arts (karate, cardio kickboxing) for over 10 years and achieved a 2nd-degree blackbelt. Haven't practiced for a couple of years due to travel and injury.
I enjoy dancing but am not very good and couldn't teach any particular style.
Music & theatre: I enjoy music and listen to all kinds of music. Having said that, I am not a very good singer and have a bit of stage fright... Used to read notes as I took piano lessons as a kid. Enjoy drumming but not very good. As a child I very much enjoyed theatre. With friends we would often create some entertainment for the adults at dinner parties. As an adult, I prefer to not be in the spotlight and would rather help with the production, perhaps with props or costumes.
I enjoy arts like drawing but don't really practice it in my spare time. Used to do a lot in my childhood. I used to sew a lot when I was younger and also did some knitting, crochet and needlepoint.
I can cook and bake. Have some go-to recipes I can share. It is not a passion of mine but I do enjoy food and being part of a community preparing food.
Photograpy: I take lots of pictures and video using my cellphone. I would rate myself as quite average but do enjoy it! I have not created any amazing reels or movies on social media to boast about.
