Description

🌍 About Me: A Global Educator with a Heart for Culture, Craft, and Connection

Hola, I’m Timea — a 15 year veteran teacher, global citizen, and lifelong learner originally from Romania and now based in rural Pennsylvania, USA, near the shores of Lake Erie. I have experience with working with children from toddler age to adults. I have current background searches and clearances to provide, especially if a workaway assignments involves working with children.

My journey into travel and cultural exchange started long before I packed my bags — it’s been growing through every Spanish lesson I teach, every craft I create, and every connection I make with students and communities worldwide. After immersing myself in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico through fellowships this past year and study abroad, I realized my passion goes beyond just teaching Spanish or math or other subjects — it’s about building bridges between people and places. Now, with a fall sabbatical and a flexible career stage ahead, I’m ready to lend a hand, learn from you, and share what I can offer.

I’m especially drawn to projects that involve education, sustainable development, cultural exchange, gardening, and arts & crafts. I’m also excited to explore projects that blend hands-on work with community building — whether it’s helping with language tutoring, working in eco-projects, creating cultural workshops, or supporting local festivals. As a future career - I am interesting in learning more about Instructional Design

✨ What I Can Share and Offer
Languages: Fluent in Spanish, English, and Romanian (happy to tutor!)

Crafts & Creativity: Love leading workshops on paper crafts, mosaics, and upcycling projects

Gardening & Outdoor Work: Grew up in vineyard country, so I don’t mind getting my hands dirty

Education & Instructional Design: Experienced at building creative, learner-centered projects. I would love to learn more ID skills.

Global Citizenship & Sustainable Development: Certified in Earth Charter education (UPEACE Costa Rica)

Cooking & Sharing Meals: Always happy to cook a simple, hearty meal — and swap recipes

Tech & Admin Help: Can assist with online content, writing, or educational program design

✈️ Why I’m Drawn to Specific Places

Wherever I go, I look for places that value cultural heritage, sustainability, and community spirit. I’m especially excited to revisit Latin America - especially MEXICO.

I hope to experience daily life with locals, participate in cultural traditions, and work on meaningful projects that make a tangible difference. I love walking tours, farmers markets, beaches, museums, and finding off-the-beaten-path cafes to chat with people.

🎨 A Bit More About Me (Personality + Fun Stuff)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I consider myself a life long learner who is a good student and can be a good and patient teacher as well. I am flexible, willing to learn, not afraid to ask questions and overall dependable and kind spirited. Show me what to do and I’ll get it done!

Autres infos...

I really enjoy crafts. I have always admired hand made Mexican artisanal work. I may dream I would learn how to make mosaics, talavera tiles, ceramics, weave, make bracelets, papel picado and any and all other crafts. I’m my dream I would also love to learn how to cook authentic dishes and better understand the indigenous communities that live in Mexico.
