Description

Hey all!
I'm Bálint, a Hungarian guy who just did his first Workaway volunteering in autumn 2024 in Sweden, then traveled home through Finland and Poland.

Check out my volunteering & travel vlog about it:

I plan to go on my next adventure from early May 2025.

I was doing building tasks, general maintenance and some social media.
For example, I was helping renovate this Swedish wooden cabin or "stuga":

Currently I'm very much interested in learning self-sufficiency, growing vegetables, garden work, learning to work with animals, being in nature, being part of a commune of people helping each other grow. I used to have small balcony gardens and loved them, I recently started baking my own sourdough bread.

I have varying degrees of experience in different things.
In the past year, - among others - I was a:
- digital content creator (video editing, graphic illustrations, blogging, vlogging, post texts)
- drummer and bedroom musician: recorded my own music and drum covers

- cyclist: cycling everywhere almost daily (back in Hungary)
- language enthusiast: more on this below
- part-time volunteer: was volunteering last year in Hungary by helping disadvantaged children with tutoring
- technical writer
- project manager
- employer branding person
