Description
Hi! I’m Agata, a passionate traveler from Poland who loves exploring new places and cultures.I love to travel—I’ve been to 49 countries so far, and I still feel like it’s just the beginning! I’m a very open-minded, friendly, and energetic person, who doesn’t shy away from challenges and loves trying new things. I’m into sports, especially horse riding, hiking, and spending time in nature. I’ve volunteered in various countries such as Switzerland, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.

A little about me:
💻 I’m a UX/UI Designernby profession, with experience in marketing and branding, so aside from physical work, I can also help with tasks related to web design, graphics, or promotion.
🐴 I have plenty of experience working on farms—taking care of animals, helping in the garden, and doing various physical tasks.
🌿 I’ve also worked in resorts and hostels, where I handled reception, small maintenance tasks, cleaning, and guest interaction.
💪 I’m hardworking, great at physical tasks (quite fit as well), and a fast learner. Having grown up surrounded by animals—my family runs a dog breeding business—I have lots of experience in caring for them. I love outdoor work, being close to nature, and exploring new places while meeting new people.
🌍 I’m fluent in English and speak a bit of Spanish.

My Workaway experience (I volunteered 10 times):
- Switzerland: Pet sitting, helping care for a dog being trained to become a guide dog for blind people.
- Thailand: Taught English to children, assisting them in improving their language skills through interactive lessons and activities.
- Laos: Worked at a resort, managing the reception, handling social media, and assisting with general maintenance and guest services.
- Malaysia (1st hostel): Worked at a party hostel, helping with cooking, housekeeping, general maintenance, and guest interaction to ensure everyone felt welcome.
- Malaysia (2nd hostel): Managed the reception and scooter rentals, assisting guests with inquiries and rentals at a local hostel.
- Malaysia (horse farm): Took care of animals, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, treating small wounds, and general care for horses on a horse farm.
- Australia: Worked at a cattle farm, assisting with animal care (horses and cattle), feeding, and general maintenance like repairing fences.
- New Zealand (sheep farm): Helped with animal care, feeding, and general maintenance on a farm with sheep and horses.
- New Zealand (organic farm with Maori community): Assisted with gardening, general farm tasks, and visited a Maori school to engage with the local community.
- Philippines: Volunteered at a hostel, helping with general maintenance, managing the website, and assisting with social media.
- Indonesia: Worked at a party hostel, ensuring guests felt welcome and assisting with day-to-day operations.

- I really like cooking, especially spicy foods
- I have driving license
- I learn very quickly and I am not afraid of work. I am curious about new challenges, which I try to approach positively with an open mind. I love spending time with people in the open air, so they are very happy to help with household chores.
Age
26
What else ...
We really like to play volleyball, board games and watch sunsets. We travel by hitchhiking together. Agata plays some guitar (she's just a begginer) and we really like to sing, but we aren't very good at it (but the most important is fun!) We like to explore surroundings, especially by bike or on walk.

If we manage to meet, we really care about friendly relations. We do not want to feel distance from the employee-employer principle. During this time, we become a family.

During the stay we were responsible for work at the reception and minor marketing work. Thanks to this, we could see what the daily work in the resort looks like. 👩🏻‍💻

We spent almost 3 weeks with Apisit and it was a great time 😃

Our main task was to conduct workshops for teenagers during the school camp. We had a lot of fun with it, and the kids at school were very open, always smiling and curious. It was a very interesting and inspiring experience for us.

We also helped with small works on the farm. We… read more

Agata:

I’ve been with Lutz family for one month. It was my first experience with Workaway and I never thought that it may be so great. I had the most amazing time, they treated me like a family member and I really felt like home in their house. They are so loving, caring and helpful family. They treated me with a respect and I am so grateful for… read more the time we could spend together.

In the beginning I was quite stressed about this trip, because it was my first experience with Workaway, but as soon as I get to the house I felt relieved. I was welcomed by a smiling and open family. With time, it got even better when we got to know each other better. Thanks to the Lutz family, I have been able to experience many amazing things. I will never forget all the great moments we had together. I will never forget great walks, sunsets and evenings with board games. When Michéle showed me new, unconventional hiking trails, she played the piano in the evenings, and even once I was invited to a private concert by her rock band. Monika was the best partner to the team in board games, she is one of the warmest and nicest people I know. With Alain you can talk about everything, I really liked exchanging our opinions, participate in yodeling concert and reaching the summit of the mountain, which was almost 3000 m above sea level. I had a wonderful time with Vasco and Onyx, two of the sweetest and smartest dogs in the world!

Thanks to you I created amazing memories that will stay with me forever! I hope you’re doing well, I really miss you guys. You will always stay in my heart, thank you for everything, can’t wait to see you again.

PS.: Give a kiss and a big hug from me for Onyx and tell her that I miss her too and she will always be special for me.

Kalina:

Staying in Hinwil, Switzerland at the home of Onyx and Vasco was my first workaway experience. I couldn't really get any better. The Lutz family are wonderful, loving and extremely helpful. For a little help at home, I got the opportunity to get to know the beauty of Switzerland, nature, sunsets and culture in this country. I even went to the yodeling concert wow! Thank you Alain! The help, support and family warmth that come from Monika is an amazing experience. Support, smile and amazing passions are short words that can be used to describe Michele. I only spent a week there because the work in Poland called for it, but despite such a short time, it was an amazing adventure and I am extremely grateful to the whole family. Two little loving and extremely energetic dogs - Onyx and Vasco are two cuddly dogs, thanks to which you have a smile on your face every minute of the day. I really appreciate being able to stay at their home. I hope we will meet again someday! I would definitely recommend anyone to stay in this house!
