ABOUT ME
Hi, there's me : Anna Maria, a passionate traveler who did 5 continents and looking for to complete the tour one day.
Please, take your time and out your effort to read about me before you request to visit me in Qatar or invite me to your house overseas.
Since 2012 I live and work in Middle East, a little part of the world that maybe people don't know much about. It's an amazing opportunity mainly because I just absolutely love my job - I teach art and music for British school owned by Gas and Petroleum companies / that's what's mainly Qatar about.
I own a travel habit from my family and was traveling quite a lot with my brother and for music works -trips around and playing on the cruises and in the hotels for quite a long while. Now trying to settle down, improve my professional experience and get each teaching vacations to explore a little world around.
PHILOSOPHY
The secret - you believe - you own :D
And believe itself - you own :D

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all music and learn from all types of music.
Cinema is very common activity in Qatar - hiding in cool air conditioner shopping mall and watching movies. Actually since being in Middle East I actually discovered cinema as a fun thing to do.
I read books mainly travel guides and travel stories. Well, last was about an Endurance expedition to Antarctica. I don't know what book may be next yet.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I actually dislike this part of somebody else's profile that mention about skydives, travels, scuba diving etc. those things Middle East citizens do as usual and we didn't find it special.
I think ... Hosting legends in Qatar, that's awesome, and this lesson of travel life coming to your house and staying with for few days and teaching you real life experiences.
I have amazing family in Poland and have done amazing things for them, so they did too ... Love, peace, friendship ... That's am amazing thing I've done :-)
Teach, Learn, Share
I teach playing music instruments, some drawing, art techniques. For surfers staying for longer than just a weekend I may offer art Centre tour with practical Arabic Calligraphy classes with is quite cool thing to try in Qatar. I like to share experiences and like to find common interest with my host and surfers. As well like to share our differences and find new ideas what to share in the future.
