Description
Hi! I'm Aviaja, I'm 25, currently in the midst of a bachelor in archaeology, but always looking to travel any time I get the opportunity.
Before I started studying (and before a worldwide pandemic happened) I spent a year traveling Europe and doing Workaway.
I went to Portugal, Italy, Romania and Hungary, mainly doing hostel work like reception, cleaning and bartending. I've since done some workaways in Serbia and Greece as well !
When I was a kid my parents travelled a lot with me (mainly through southeast Asia; Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.), but they started sticking to Europe once my two younger siblings were born. And so traveling is something I've very much grown up with and feels like a natural part of my life.
I'm a very curious and open-minded person and love learning new things. You can always find me immersed in some new topic, project or hobby I've decided to try out. I have a lot of hobbies and interests that I'd love to share, and I'm curious about most everything, so I'd love for you to share with me what you're passionate about.
I generally enjoy any creative work and I started painting a few years ago. Now I'm making something out of most everything I can get my hands on.
I also love cooking and baking and, although I have some stables I love, I'm always testing out new recipes in the kitchen - for better or worse.
To maybe sum up, I believe loving the world around you, learning and expressing yourself is a great way to go through life.Interests

Along with my workaway experiences, I've also worked in a variety of hospitality industry jobs - as a receptionist, barista, waitress and in the kitchen of a restaurant.
Other than that I'd love to help out and swing a brush or help with various creative and/or home projects. I'm also very organized and quite systematic, so I'm good at cleaning too. I've grown up as the oldest of three siblings with a fairly big age gap, so I'm used to being around kids and babysitting. I also did horseback-riding for 11 years (taught a bit to kids too), though it's now many years ago since I've been on horseback regularly.
I'm interested in most everything and love learning, so I'm most likely going to be up for learning any new skills, regardless of whether I've had experience or interest in them before !Age

What else ...
It's important for you to know that I am not just looking for a free bed and so, expect that you are not just looking for free labour. Workaway is, to me, about cultural exchange, learning opportunities and friendship, and so that is what I'm looking for in hosts.
