Description

I'm a freelance curator, organizing exhibitions abroad.

For my job I just need the Internet so I can work from anywhere

I love hiking and biking, so I'm fit, and will work independently and efficiently on the tasks that you'll benefit from.

I'm a responsible, trustworthy and honest person, and will take good care of all your property, as I would of my own.

I love to use my free time to walk, hike and bike around. And to stay at home, to read and write.

As I often spend too much time indoors, that's why working outside, in the fresh air, is the much-needed exercise.

So I'll be very happy to help you with gardening - that's what I love and would prefer to do - weeding, pruning, planting, picking fruit, mulching, watering, land clearing, soil preparation, collecting and moving firewood, etc etc.

Possibly also with some DIY, painting with eco-dyes, basic cooking, playing with children.

I try to avoid working in dusty and noisy environments.

I love taking care of cats, walking and playing with dogs.
Love horses, and almost all animals.

Hopefully, my next destination will be Portugal. I'm coming to see how it feels there, to experience the climate, way of life, as I intend to apply for a D7 long-term visa before the end of this year, so I need to gather some experience.

As this pandemic helped me to start realising my long-time dream - to leave the city life and settle in nature.

For I have gradually become fed up with the pollution and noise of my home city of Belgrade, and started to appreciate very much the quietness and fresh air in the countryside.

As the pandemic started while I was in France, and air transport was suspended, I could not return home.

That's how I discovered WorkAway. I have been doing gardening there, as well as house and pet sitting.
