Volunteer at a wild dolphin center
Environment, Hospitality and Tourism
The Dolphin Discovery Centre in Western Australia is dedicated to conservation. As a volunteer I was helping to educate the public about dolphins, managing interactions with wild dolphins and tourists, and participating in research.
Interests: I'm naturally very curious about life, nature, and cultures, and value experiences a great deal. Which is why I have a degree in Anthropology for one, and also done a lot of hands-on work around the world in natural settings. Always gathering experience about how the world works and why things are the way they are. I have an open mind and heart and I'm very good at meeting people where they are, and from there, helping them on their path to learning in whatever way they feel comfortable. I got to practice this a lot while working as a PADI scuba diving instructor.
I have lived and traveled all over the world, from Australia to the UK, the Caribbean (Tobago), the Hawaiian Islands, Bali, Spain, Germany, and more, so I have working experience and training in a variety of fields and topics of interest and I am very accustomed to communicating with people from all over the world.
Some of my topics of interest are cultures, anything about nature, sciences, health, and well-being, recreational activities (especially water-related), herbal medicine, travel, food, philosophy, animals, current world events, family life, and spirituality.
I love being in nature, outdoor activities, watersports, photography, reading, arts and crafts just to name a few. And I love being a mom to my 6-year-old son.
In addition to my 2 native languages, English and German, I learned to speak fluent Spanish while I lived in Spain. So I know what it's like to go through the process of learning a foreign language.
I look forward to connecting with more people through this platform and being able to be of service by helping you to improve and become more confident in your English-speaking (or reading and writing) abilities.

I´m from England, in the U.K., but I lived in Canada for 10 years, so that´s why I have more of a Canadian / neutral accent. Now, I live in South America with my husband.
As for guilty pleasures- I´m a huge Harry Potter fan. :D
I´m happy to guide you through free conversation, go through Cambly lessons, or work on Engoo articles with you.
If you love reading and think that´s the best way to improve your English, I´d be happy to listen to you read, help you with your pronunciation and vocabulary, and engage in discussion based on the text. I really enjoy that!
Hope to meet you soon!
