One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Iceland when they beat England in the Euros 2016. The moment the legendary icelandic clap celebration was introduced tot the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

From 2007-2011 I went to an international school in Geneva, Switzerland and that experience shaped me. Students from all over the world shared their cultures, beliefs and values with eachother and this enabled me to think on an international level. I learned many things from my fellow students and teachers. They taught me to be respectful, open minded, disciplined, ambitious and most of all to be myself. Furthermore my level of English and French has improved drastically in Geneva. Moreover my skillset and mindset have increased greatly.

I love teaching children a new language or the following subjects: geography, history, economics, social studies and mathematics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stroopwafels and other Dutch treats.
