Hello! My name is Silvia, I am a kindergarten teacher, and I'm thrilled to join the Workaway community. My journey in life has always been driven by a deep curiosity and a desire to connect with people from different backgrounds. I believe that every new experience and person I meet can teach me something valuable, and that's what excites me about this platform.
What truly motivates me is the idea of making a positive impact, no matter how small. I find immense joy in helping others and seeing the direct results of my efforts. Whether it's lending a hand in a community project, teaching a new skill, or simply sharing stories and laughter, these moments bring me immense satisfaction.
I am passionate about sustainable living and environmental conservation, and I find great happiness in outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, and exploring nature. There's something incredibly fulfilling about working with the earth and seeing the fruits of that labor.
Meeting new people and forming meaningful connections is another source of happiness for me. I love hearing about different life experiences, learning new perspectives, and building friendships that transcend cultural barriers. Volunteering allows me to do all this while contributing to something greater than myself.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and practicing mindfulness through yoga and meditation. These activities keep me grounded and remind me of the simple joys in life.
I am excited about the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals and hosts who share a passion for cultural exchange and mutual growth. I look forward to contributing my energy and enthusiasm to your projects and making lasting memories together.

I have always been passionate about languages, a passion that led me to study foreign languages at university. Throughout my academic journey, I have immersed myself in learning various languages, which has broadened my understanding of different cultures and ways of thinking.During my studies, I have had the opportunity to learn languages such as French, Spanish, and German, and I have been living in Germany and England. Each language opened up a new world for me, enhancing my appreciation for the nuances of communication and cultural expression. In addition to my enthusiasm for languages, I am eager to engage in cultural exchange through volunteering. I am confident that my background in language studies will allow me to connect more deeply with the people I meet and contribute meaningfully to the community!!! Whether it’s through teaching English, assisting with local projects, or simply sharing stories, I am enthusiastic about using my skills to foster mutual understanding and friendship.I am thrilled at the prospect of volunteering in Japan and immersing myself in the language and culture. I look forward to the challenges and rewards that come with this experience, and I am eager to bring my passion for children and languages to your projects!!!!

Que habilidades tienes?
I am a kindergarten teacher living in the United Kingdom from 5 years, with 11 years of experience nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning. Over the years, I have developed a wide range of skills that I believe will be highly valuable in any volunteering setting!!
In my teaching career, I have developed my communication skills, learning to convey complex ideas in simple and engaging ways. This ability to connect with individuals of all ages and backgrounds has always helped me to work effectively in diverse environments. My organizational skills are well-developed, as I regularly plan and execute lesson plans, manage classroom activities, and coordinate events. This experience has taught me to be adaptable and resourceful, qualities that are crucial for any volunteer project.
Creativity together with curiosity are at the heart of my teaching philosophy!!I am always looking for innovative ways to make learning fun and accessible, which involves crafting educational materials, organizing interactive activities, and integrating technology into my lessons. This creative approach will allow me to contribute fresh ideas and solutions in a volunteer setting.
Working with young children has also made me incredibly patient and empathetic. I understand the importance of listening, understanding different perspectives, and providing support when needed. These qualities make me a reliable and compassionate team member.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects and initiatives (one was teach English to the Japanese community in Otaki village, Nagano, Japan!), such as organizing school events, leading extracurricular activities, and developing new teaching programs. These experiences have equipped me with strong leadership and project management skills.
I am passionate about cultural exchange and lifelong learning, which is why I am excited about the opportunity to volunteer through Workaway. I am eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your projects, contribute positively, and learn from the experiences and people I will meet along the way!!!

Algo más...
In addition to my passion for languages and teaching, I have some hobbies that bring joy and balance to my life. One of my favorite activities is practicing Bikram yoga. The discipline and focus required in Bikram yoga have taught me resilience and mindfulness, qualities that I believe are invaluable in any setting. The practice also keeps me physically fit and mentally sharp, which helps me stay energetic and positive!!!
I also have a deep love for hiking. Being out in nature, exploring new trails, and pushing my physical limits is incredibly rewarding. Hiking has taught me perseverance and the joy of reaching new heights, both literally and metaphorically. I find that this hobby keeps me grounded and appreciative of the natural world, and it’s a great way to connect with others who share the same passion.
Cooking is another hobby that I cherish and that my lovely mum taught me. I love the traditional italian cuisine from my family but I enjoy experimenting with many different other foods and ingredients, which not only satisfies my creative side but also allows me to share delicious meals with friends and family. Cooking has taught me patience, attention to detail, and the joy of nurturing others through food. I am particularly excited about the prospect of learning to cook Japanese dishes and sharing my own culinary creations with my hosts and fellow volunteers!!!!
These hobbies not only enrich my life I believe but also give me with skills and experiences that I can bring to my volunteer work. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm and skills to your project and learning from the unique experiences that you offer!!!!
