~I'm currently looking for work opportunities in hospitality for winter 2025 and volunteering opportunities related to building/ woodworking for spring 2026. Anywhere in Europe or the USA.~
Dear hosts, most volunteers really look forward to receiving a response when they send out messages- we don't all send a million messages at random but actually put a lot of thought into who we reach out to. If you are interested, not interested, or just taking your time to think, please send a simple message back to let us know, it would mean a great deal to all of us! Kindly.

Hi all!
I did an undergraduate degree in International Relations and Business in Canterbury, England. I did a few months long solo trip in 2022, exploring the Balkans and South of Italy. Since then I have done an internship with an NGO and have worked and volunteered in a few different countries.
I have been part of the Workaway community for over 3 years now and I have had plenty of positive experience. I usually prefer long term stays.
Most of all, I'd like to learn about eco building, help in any non governmental organization/ charity or do hostel work. I've also been learning how to upcycle old furniture as a hobby, I'd like to have the chance to practice Russian and Italian and improve on my vegan cooking skills so any chance to do any of that would be great. I'd like to learn about different aspects of woodwork. Lately I've been learning more about natural building, permaculture, natural medicine and sewing.
I am vegan for environmental and ethical reasons. I like dancing occasionally and I love reading books/ articles related to current events, international relations, social entrepreneurship, comparative religion, comparative linguistics, and self- improvement. I find importance in sustainability and zero waste life.
I am Bulgarian. I've lived in England, Italy, Czech Republic and the US. I am 27 years old.
I do not smoke or drink.
I have:
• an EU passport and EHIC
• right to work in the UK (pre- settled status, NIN)
• US passport/ SSN
I am usually open to both employment and volunteering opportunities. More than happy to work weekends and longer days when needed.

I'd like to improve my Russian, I've been learning it on and off for years. I'd also like to learn Italian and Sanskrit. English is not my native language but I am proficient in it so I can definitely help with that.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have experience volunteering/ working in hostels in Kotor, Montenegro (2 weeks), Nottingham, England (7 months) and Inverness, Scotland (3 months) doing housekeeping and reception work. I have experience being a waitress in restaurants and pubs, pet sitting, childcare, working in a campsite, and some barista experience (in a bakery; no experience dealing with alcohol but happy to learn). I have basic computer skills such as Microsoft office and I've done a content management internship for a website in Prague, Czech Republic (Wordpress/ SEO). I've assisted with event management; drafting documents, presentations, video scripts and other content for internal events; writing and editing blog content; conducting interviews and doing background research for papers as part of an internship with an NGO. I'm used to helping my grandparents in their garden where they grow fruits and veggies, as well as preserve food for winter. I also have experience in social care, looking after elderly people and adults with disabilities. I adore animals and I'd be happy to take care of them but my experience is limited (apart from cats, dogs and chickens with which I'm confident). Lately, I worked for a small business doing basic admin, worked as a Castle Guide working with tourists, and did cooking in a vegetarian (mostly plant-based) restaurant in the US- I was responsible for making salads and salad dressings from scratch, soups, desserts, smoothies, etc.
I have been living on my own in foreign countries since I left high school which made me a very independent, responsible and clean person. I can assist with cooking and cleaning.
I have a valid Driving license.
