Travel differently,
connect globally

I'm in Belgium right now, but planning to visit Mexican and Colombian culture, cuisine, nature and mountains during the months October-February, whilst of course working and getting to know people.

Hi! I’m Dasha, a curious soul and a traveler at heart :) I’m Russian and when the war began I had to leave. It was a difficult but necessary decision. I’ve always believed in peace, connection, and mutual respect, and I knew I wanted to build a life aligned with those values. That’s how I found my way to Uruguay - a calm, open-minded, and democratic country that has become my base while I continue to explore the world. I recently came back from my first big motorcycle journey across South America. Over five months, I rode nearly 20,000 kilometers and visited Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Brasil, it was one of the most intense, beautiful, and unforgettable experiences of my life. I completely fell in love with this continent, its people, landscapes, cultures, and energy. Now I’d love to continue exploring South America, but at a bit more relaxed pace this time, haha. What I love most is discovering how people live, their homes, their daily routines, their stories. I enjoy slow travel, getting to know places deeply, and connecting with the soul of each community I visit. One of my long-term dreams is to learn how to build houses, especially simple, natural homes that respect nature and bring people together. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about Workaway, it’s a beautiful way to share skills, learn by doing, and connect through meaningful exchange. This is not my first volunteering experience, a few years ago I had the chance to take care of a house in Bali. It was a beautiful time, and I’m still in touch with some of the wonderful people I met there. That experience really showed me how powerful and joyful these kinds of connections can be. I’ve also been learning Spanish for the past year and I’m always happy to practice! I’m not fluent yet, but I understand a lot and keep improving every day, so if you speak Spanish, please feel free to speak with me in your language :) I’m easy-going, respectful, and open-minded. Im looking for a chance to help you with your house, I can also help with everyday tasks, animals, gardening, creative projects (like photography or video), or just share good conversations and positive energy. I’ve worked online for the last few years in creative fields and I love yoga, hiking, nature, and learning new things. Thanks so much for reading, I hope to meet you somewhere on this beautiful planet 🌎✨
