Description
Hello, I'm Alja, a 23-year-old from Slovenia.

I am currently staying in Canada on a Working Holiday Visa.

ABOUT ME
I recently graduated from college, where I studied medical imaging. Before finding a full-time job, I want to travel the world for at least a year, learn new skills, gain experience, learn about different cultures and mentalities, meet new people, and make unforgettable memories together.

I'm a calm person who values alone time to recharge my social batteries.
I consider myself to be an open-minded, patient, empathetic, and organized person who loves to explore nature off the beaten path. Watching a sunset from a hill or sitting by a lake and listening to birds singing is a feeling like no other. I also love meeting beautiful souls from all over the world and sharing experiences.

Whenever I can, I help my parents at their small farm. In my free time, you can find me rock climbing, jogging, playing guitar, or volunteering at the local fire department. I'm also learning to be a web developer.

If you'd like to know more, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,
Alja 🌞

More details about your skills
I help my parents with their small cow farm, so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I'm also a volunteer firefighter, so I'm used to hard work.

I can provide support with household chores, housekeeping, DIY projects, taking care of the garden, and helping with animals. I have a little bit of experience as a waitress from a part-time job I held.

To be honest, I don't have much experience with babysitting, but I'm open to learning.

Thank you (hvala!) Alja for stepping into our early spring operations and tackling some prickly jobs! We really appreciated your attention to detail, work style and good humour. Not to mention your amazing drawing skills! Alja is easy going, hard working, independent and curious to try new things. She fit right into the family and work flow and… read more

If you're searching for an amazing island getaway, this is the spot for you! The pictures on the profile really don't capture the true beauty of this place. I stayed with the family for just a week, but it felt like just a day because time flew by so quickly.

Alja is such a nice person. She’s always upbeat and positive. We had some great conversations about a variety of topics. She’s completely up for anything and always wants to be included. There was one day where we had to load the sheep well after supper and haul them out. She didn’t even ask where we were going or how long we would be. She’s… read more

I was staying 1 month with Jackie and time flew by very fast. If you are an animal lover this place is for you! Jackie has a little zoo in the backyard :)

The chores weren’t too difficult. Every morning and afternoon you have to give water and feed the animals. And throughout the day you do miscellaneous work around the house. I had the… read more

If you are looking for "The classic northern Ontario experience," then this is the place for you.

This was my first workaway experience, and it was nothing short of amazing. The work can be physically demanding sometimes, but at the end of the day, you get to relax in a blazing hot sauna and take an ice-cold dip in the lake.

The family tries to… read more
