A lifetime to learn how to live

Volunteer since
2016

Speaks

The languages I am the most advanced in are French, English, Spanish. I can understand Dutch pretty well and I can write. I could speak quite good: it needs to be freshen up. I would love to have the opportunity to do so! I can read and understand Portuguese. I learned it a few years ago but had no chance to practice since then.

Preferred location

After I finish my studies (from September on), I would like to travel around Western Europe, Canada and the USA.
I wish to discover new parts of the world, meet new people and learn new ways to live happily with myself and with others.
I've come to believe that our society is in a mess, as I am too, and I would like to reflect on what the Earth, the universe, the human being (...) need to find peace.
Canada because I would like to meet Léandre Bergeron.
USA and Canada because I would like to know more about Twelve Step recovery programs (e.g. Alcoholic Anonymous, Al-Anon, S-Anon, Recovery International, Co-Dependent Anonymous, Emotions Anonymous, etc.).
The Netherlands and Flanders because I miss speaking Dutch! And France, England and Ireland because I would like to know more about Unschooling.
I have no idea where this will take me and I don't need to know. I have no plan.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!

Skills

I studied philosophy, languages and pedagogy at university. I thus have skills in teaching philosophy, French, Spanish; I also know enough of English and Dutch to teach or speak with children or first-years students.
I am very much interested in education. The authors I most agree with are André Stern, Leandre Bergeron, Anthony de Mello... Authors who experienced and reflect on autonomous learning, life learning, being a human being, happiness...
I can of course help in the house, babysit, etc. All the work that doesn't require special skills.
I am willing to learn from the environment I would live in, just as I recommend it to others. Most of all, I would love to learn about gardening and farming.
I am an enthusiastic and creative person who loves learning new things and share experiences!

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
