About
Hi, my name is Maria, I have been working with people since I was teenager! I love to do it. Mainly with kids and teens. I have a huge family, so I have had a lot of experience in lots of areas and especially love cooking, camping outdoors and riding my bike. I used to climb but now the bike is my queen. I was born in Spain and I have lived in Ireland, Czech Republic, Colombia and now here in Australia. Travelling is my second name. The last 10 years I was working as an Outdoor educator in a Colombian school doing camping and adventures with kids from 5 to 17 y/o. I enjoy meeting new people from different countries, with different lifestyles and connect with them. Actually I am looking for improving my crochet abilities and perfect my English. As I have said I love cooking and arts and crafts, I enjoy to share a dish and keeping in touch looking for a different recipe to improve the previous one. I love to innovate in the kitchen looking for new recipes or trying something crazy. Regarding to crafts, it is a lot of fun to do things as a team or trying to build something from scratch. If we talk about riding a bike or walking, in my opinion, this is the best way to meet somebody, doing outdoor activities. My hobbies are the best hobbies to meet and enjoy new people!
