Description
Hey, I'm Iza from Hungary. I grew up in a small town, then moved to the big city of Budapest for my university years. After finishing my masters I moved to France for a year and particitated in a European Solidarity Corps project there, which was a wonderful and extremely enriching experience. Then I moved back to Hungary, got a job as a school psychologist, but after a year I felt like I needed some more time abroad, travelling, reflecting or maybe finding a new home - who knows? Since then I did some workaways in Normandy, France, worked as a waitress in a ski resort in the Alpes, then sailed for nearly two months with some artist fellas, worked through another winter season and now here I am before another summer hopefully full of adventures. I'm still not sure if the whole concept of 'settling down' applies for me, so let's just see where my path leads.
Generally I love being around people. Having meaningful relationships is one of the most important things in my life. I love nature, sports, cultural programs and I think I'm pretty open to try out new things. Usually I'm a calm person, who is always ready for a conversation.
I can't wait to get to know new people, hearing their thoughts about life and learn a lot through this experience.
Recently I'm learning about videomaking, I'm doing mostly interviews with artists, but I'm open to other relating projects if you have any ideas/needs.Interests

I'm really open to learn new things and skills, but here are some fields that I already have experience with:
I did my bachelor and masters in psychology, so this is my official profession.
I worked with adolescents who have experienced abuse, trauma, bullying, and/or having some mental health problems. I have done summer camps for teenagers and can conduct teambuilding activities with no problem.
In France I worked with unemployed adults with mental health issues (addiction, social isolation, survivals of domestic violence).
This year I worked in hospitality. Did the winter season in the French Alpes in a hotel as a waitress, which was intense but now I know how to do this kind of service and even to present a Michelin-star dish. And then in September and October I'm working in a bistro, this way I have an overview of a faster paced service as a waitress as well as making some simple bar drinks such as coffees and lemonades.
I have some experience in working on a farm (goats, flowers, gardening) and would be motivated to learn more about that. I like animals in general, growing up there were always cats around in my family, but I'm also cool with farm animals.
I did some sailing on a traditional boat (only human force) and a longer navigation on a catamaran from South of France to North of France (through Spain and Portugal), which means I'm not so lost on a sailing boat, can participate in manoevres and operate with directions (with or without the sails).
I also know the basics of sewing clothes (it runs in my family), editing videos (Premiere Pro), and lately I'm into painting clothes.Age
