My next destination:
French Polynesia - from Feb 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
My name is Ramona. I was born and raised in Timisoara, Romania.
I finished studying Management at West University of Timisoara and worked for 6 years in client service at an internet cafe, a place which I also managed for 2 years.
I worked during a summer at a café-bar and have experience as a waitress and as a barista and bartender.
Since 2014 I've been living in a community in the Apuseni mountains in Romania. Here I had the wonderful experience of growth with the help of the meditation we practice here, Vipassana. I also gained confidence in myself, learned useful skills like taking care of plants and animals, child care, carpentry, building. I also developed good social skills from interacting with people from all over the world.
I have a curious nature and love learning new skills. I am skilled and handy, love life, nature, people, animals. I am hardworking, organised and reliable. I am sociable and friendly, but I also value my alone time.
I am extremely grateful for everything I learned so far and now I want to use these skills in my travels.
Workaway is an amazing experience I'm having right now. I'm extremely grateful for the experiences I've had so far, the people I met and looking forward for what is coming.
So far, with Workaway, I learned and gained knowledge about:
- Taking care of and managing a tourism resort (Portugal)
- Taking care of children, working with reindeers, working with sled dogs, dog-mushing, driving a snowmobile (Norway)
- Working as a barista (New Zealand)
I'm currently in French Polynesia and I would love to learn how to sail a boat, drive a jet ski and scuba dive.Interests
