  • Description

    Hi!

    I started traveling and volunteering a few years ago and now I don't want to live any other way. I love discovering new places and cultures, meeting locals and other travelers, and sharing stories...I don't want to be chasing "success" as it is accustomed in the US f.e., where my permanent home is at. During my travels I learned a lot about myself and what is important to me. I am joining the platform to experience the local life and connect with people as traveling solo can get lonely. I am a hardworking person by nature, so I will make good help. My professional background is in hospitality and hosting. I am eager to learn new things and skills.
    I am also passionate about wellness (yoga, meditation, ReiKI) and nutrition, enjoy cooking and learning new cuisines. Love fermenting foods, making kombucha, sprouting beans and grains , made my attempts in growing micro greens. I absolutely love being in nature and just embracing the present.... Thank you so much for reading.
