I'm Gaja (pronounced as "Gaia"/"Gaya"), a nomad, backpacker, freesoul, dreamer...
After finishing military I left the lands of my ancestors and since then I'm slowly going around the world, collecting information and memories, learning about myself and all around me. First trips were more "civilized", but random, now I'm more focused to earn and improve knowledge about alternative medicine, herbs, spirituality, yoga, ayurveda, consciousness, arts, sustainability, permaculture. I like to go where I feel the right wind blows.
I love mountains, cycling, challenges, cats and cacao.
I live simply, minimalistically. I care much about economical, ecological problems (though I'm not a total fanatic of "zero-waste" and other trandy terms, but I try to leave good impact behind).
I'm really happy when I feel I'm useful, that I do something good for other living beings.
How I can help?
Even my list of type of help is wide, it doesn't mean that I'm universal, it means that I won't refuse having various tasks. I enjoy being outdoors, working with plants and having creative requests (to paint a mural, make a mosaic, bake a healthy and vegan dessert..?) I'm flexible and open to learn new things. Physical work isn’t a problem at all (I see that as an exercise). I can work individually as well as in a group.
In my opinion, workaway works the best if you can feel like a part of family/community. I'll help you as much as I can if you take me as an one member of you. c:
Everything has both sides
I'm stubborn, who has a difficult character, I can be grumpy and very angry, but probably you won't see this, because I'm very patient and I need a serious reason for this. Also, I like when everything is clear. I'm straightforward, so I expect you to be the same with me as well. If you see something wrong or you just don't like me - tell me directly. I want to learn from my mistakes.
And the last thing, I very value my independence.Interests

I spent about 1,5 weeks in Zeytinada, and that time passed too quickly. From the first moment, I was greeted very warmly and got into the circle of this wonderful, big family (in fact they've already had so many volunteers before!..). Full of joys, different characters and their different habits. I met also some… read more

I was very happy to get so much freedom to decide when I should start and finish to work, how well my tasks have to be done, to explore a cute Penela's village (with impressive Christmas market in this period).
