Description

1. About me
Hi, I’m Dominik – 25, from Poland.
Background: Master’s in Psychology, lifelong hiker, outdoorsman, and survival enthusiast.
I’m on my way to becoming a professional coach, helping others find their path – but first, I want to live and experience as much as possible.
Always up for a workout, a new challenge, a campfire chat or a talk about psychology/world/traveling.

Not a huge fan of social media, but you can find me on IG: instagram.com/petekonthepath

Dear hosts, have a look through my profile so we can be sure we’re a good match :)

2. Why I travel
I’m on the road to test psychological theories in practice – motivation, stress management, and resilience.
I want to meet people, learn new perspectives, and discover different ways of living.
I also grew up on books like The Lord of the Rings – so adventure has always been part of my personality.
I travel not to run away from anything – I travel to explore, reflect, and grow.

3. What I enjoy
- Hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors
- Learning new skills and perspectives
- Being around people, animals, and nature
- Conversations about psychology, motivation, and philosophy (still a challenge for me in English, but I try!)

4. What I can offer
- Physical stamina and willingness to help wherever needed
- Experience in sales and customer care
- Hands-on experience: survival camps, mountain life, assisting with sled dogs, and helping with house construction (= basic knowledge of power tools, not a pro!)
- Calm attitude, even under pressure (this means I handle difficult or unpredictable situations well, not that I tolerate being rude)
- Good communication and teamwork
- Committed and respectful approach to work

4. More about me
Want to chat about books, travels, role-models, dreams, career plans? Ask me by the campfire :)

Work approach / Terms and conditions:

a. I follow Workaway rules – maximum 25 hours per week in exchange for food and accommodation. Anything beyond this constitutes benefiting from the internship and should be compensated. I’m flexible about how those hours are scheduled during the day
b. I’m not a fan of aggressive political activism (left or right, doesn’t matter), or of people policing others’ bedrooms, plates, or religion. I like discussing things to learn, not to fight ideological wars. As long as it’s within the law and not harming others, your views are your business.
c. If the help involves a business, it is considered job – in that case, compensation is agreed beforehand.
d. I help sincerely and commit fully, but I expect clear expectations, fair treatment, and the same reliability in return.
e. Before committing to any collaboration, we have a video call.

What else ...

Physical activity is a part of my life, so access to a gym (even the simplest, outdoor one) is significant to me. Even after physical work, I may need to do a few pull-ups, so having even a pull bar would be perfect. Of course, this is not necessary, and I will settle for a tree with a solid branch and a place to do a few push-ups as well.

Please bear in mind that as an active person (and as a male) I eat a lot (~3000 kcal, ~160g of protein)
But I am not a picky eater, I am open to every cuisine. I would also gladly cook something for you.
