Description
Energetic, dynamic, adventurous, passionate, flexible and very determined are probably the words people would mostly use to talk about me! Traveling has always been a passion. (Europe, Asia, Africa, North/South America). I do believe that mingling with the locals is the best way to discover a country, its people and culture.
After working with teenagers and young adults for many years, I will retire in June. French is my first language but have taught English for over 20 years. I worked as a vice-principal in high schools too. I organized many student exchanges (cultural/language) during all those years.
I had the privilege to be the Director of an International Language School in Canada (ILSC Montreal). Therefore, on a day to day basis, I was in contact with students from all over the world. It turned out to be a very valuable experience.
I also know about tourism since I worked as a receptionist for a important hotel resort. Plus, having a few good friends who are world tour guides has allowed me to be quite familiar with the tourism industry.
I also love cooking, gardening and home decorating. Like to be in a laid back artistic environment. (not an artist myself)
I have a very healthy lifestyle but it doesn't stop me from enjoying life! I am into sports a lot and eat very healthily. ( not vegetarian but wouldn't mind).
Can't wait to live my first experience with Work Away!Interests
