Travelling
Description
My name is Alya, full name Alzhan. In my country, I have been working as a journalist and a volunteer in a charity foundation for a long time. I have always wanted to travel more, learn new things, and meet people from different cultures, it inspires me a lot. I have traveled to more than 15 countries in Europe and Asia. For almost ten months last year, I volunteered with Workaway in 5 countries, it's a great opportunity to travel longer and deeper, and I've even started writing a book about my travels.
A little bit about me. I am hardworking, proactive, and cheerful, always eager to learn and experiment with new challenges, I can work independently or with a group. I am easy to learn, optimistic, reliable, open, and accurate. I love life, sky, people, children, animals, flowers, smiles, nature, beautiful inspiring places.
I am quite social, but I also love quiet moments practicing yoga and meditation. What else? I know how to make healthy chocolate without sugar.Interests
