Description
Hi, I'm Andreea and I joined the Workaway community because now I travel long term discovering new continents, ways of thinking, living, feeling and experiencing life, getting to know other people, cultures, communities and learn more about myself and life itself.
I love nature and its wonders and feel at home in the countryside. I grew up in the countryside helping my parents with the usual housework, from cleaning and various repairs to gardening and raising animals. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I see volunteering as a way of contributing, learning and sharing.
Back in my home town I tried to make myself useful to the society and volunteered in local organisations to do plant trees, clean the river beds of a river, restore a friend’s wooden cabin, help elderly neighbours with gardening, babysitting with my friends children.
After walking Camino de Santiago and after having an amazing pilgrim experience I decided to give back and volunteered in an albergue. My work there consisted of cleaning, gardening, helping around the kitchen and cooking vegetarian food. I loved cooking there because it fitted my style: improvising and making use of what was available in the season, fresh organic vegetables, spices, beans, local herbs and lots of joy.
While traveling I found it easy to find places to volunteer connecting with other travellers and ended up volunteering in fincas and hostels sharing experiences with beautiful people that inspired me. -
