About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live and learn

ABOUT ME
My job is my hobby. Kids give so much joy back) So I can say I'm one of that happy people who don't work coz they do what they like instead)
love my friends
love to dance
love wind and sun
I study in a medical college as well.
One year of my life I spent in the Netherlands being an au-pair for 2 super cool kids of 11 ad 14 years old.
I think that travelling gives you chance to take a look at your life from different point of view, to check your priorities and values and to find new ways.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't allow your soul to be lazy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help kids to speak correctly. Specially that time when I taught a girl to pronounce correctly the name of her grandma who was on the last stage of a cancer and had a dream to hear her granddaughter calling her in a right way before she ll die. Nothing special but everyone was crying.
