_____ A little bit about Me_____

A big 你好 (Nǐ hǎo) to you who is reading my profile and interested in learning Chinese language. My name is Poona and I am a professional mandarin teacher . I had been travelling around the world and working in a few different countries since 2011 before I settled down in Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 in 2021. When I am not working I enjoy books📖, music🎵, movies🎬, hiking, cooking, running🏃, travelling✈️, smiling😊, yoga🧘‍♀️ and meditation. I love to learn about different cultures and am a good listener and always open to share and learn.

Look forward to seeing you in the class.
