Description
I recently obtained residency in Spain and would like to explore different parts of Spain in the hope of finding my 'forever' home.
I am a passionate animal lover, and love cats, birds and (friendly) dogs (my original qualification was as a veterinary nurse). I am also a very keen gardener and have a qualification in organic horticulture and very much enjoy working outside. I have a qualification in organic horticulture and am good at planting, weeding and garden maintenance, have done fencing, cut down trees and am able to wield a pick and axe. I like spending time out of doors, go for very long walks and enjoy travelling. I am curious about other cultures and enjoy seeing new landscapes and experiencing different lifestyles.
In the past few months I was in lockdown in Navarre and volunteered at the local school as an English language assistant, a job I did at the same school two years ago. I was also fortunate to have quite a few private students during lockdown that wanted help with English conversation practice and had a good time talking about everything: football, politics, religion, hobbies, jobs...whatever came up. Before that I was working as an English language assistant in Austria for the British Council. I am very happy to help with language practice and have a TEFL qualification. I have worked with both teenagers and adults in the past few years and get on with anyone. Although I'm relatively new to teaching and it is something I really enjoy. So that's it....
