| My name is Urszula (or Ula for short), I am 25 and currently trying to figure out what to do in life. I am always eager for new adventures, meeting people and having fun. I am also realistic, so I know that nothing in life comes for free, and that is ok! I am willing to learn as much as I can and I am dedicated to the tasks I am given. I just finished my MSc degree and am wondering if the corporate life is the right path for me. I've sailed a bit in my teenage years, but the adult life took over leaving me with no time for it. Nevertheless, this is something I have always wanted to go back to.I have always found the ocean a scary but peaceful place - somehow I am drawn to the water sports. I am a trained PADI divemaster and am considering to transition to that career at some point. I am enthusiastic and a good listener - rather quiet and calm, but not an introvert. I'm not afraid of work - I can sail, do maintenance, cleaning, cooking (which I love), basically anything that is needed! I will gladly share my skills and learn from others. | |
