About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to do more things that make me happy :D

ABOUT ME

hello stranger! if you are reading this, you'll be wanting to know who i am, and what i am about....so here goes.....
the basics:
My name is Amelia, and I am a teacher from England.
I grew up in a village in the beautiful county of Hertfordshire
I graduated in July 2011 as a Primary education teacher

Personality:
Most of the time.... I am clever, kind, a good friend, talkative, sociable, sporty, affectionate, creative and generous.....
but sometimes...I am stupid, grumpy, stubborn, unsociable and selfish
But that is who I am :)

Skills:
I can cook, play the piano, climb trees, ride a bike, ice skate and rollerskate.

Other stuff:
I lived in Krakow for 2 years and it changed my perspective on everything. I learnt so much, about my self, about the world. Moving there was one of the best decisions I've made. Since September 2013, I have been mainly based in England but am always looking for opportunities to explore a bit more of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I firmly believe in the power of positive thinking....recent experiences have proved its power :)
