Description

Hi! Pls call me Dora :D
In search of a way to get in touch with an alternative lifestyle, I recently signed up to Workaway. Because I figured during the years it just does not suit me to study something, find a job and buy a house to stay in one place, this seemed like a nice opportunity in addition to find my way. I've was doing solo traveling when I was 20, when I found "a second life". My first eyeopener was wooffing in Australia at a resort in a remote area, it was the most beautiful experience.. living in a community in nature... I wanna continue this, although it took me some years to figure things out, because where I live you don't get any stimulation to find what you really feel like, and a lot of people are just doing the same, so it's hard to stay focused and do things differently. But now here I am, everything happens for a reason and shapes your path. I wanna do what I feel like, out of the comfort zone and what I grew up with, to go and find myself lead by intuition and connection. Explore the world and all it's beauty and contribute to it is an aim in my life. Being around people that have a similar aim, to make most of it as we only have one life, to share memories with them, to inspire and to be inspired.

More details about your skills

I like to be independent and responsible.
Being relaxed, patient, assertive and respectful towards each other and things around us is very important to me. To have an open mind. One that thinks and considers about.....
I'm an easy going, calm person but at the same time a hard worker who sees the work that can or needs to be done too. Rather go for details and slow then doing things half. I'm a quick learner, and interested in many different activities. Let's say the things or jobs I don't like really are the ones that are convenient for the capitalistic system we live in, but don't have an eye for nature or environment or people.

I have experience in caretaking as I was studying to become a nurse, hospitality (waitressing, kitchen help, customer service), cooking for groups, housekeeping, DIY projects (painting, re/upcycling for example), gardening...
