Description

Hello! My name is Elena, and I am 40 years old. This is my first experience with WorkAway.

Some time ago, I realized that my job in the financial sector wasn't fulfilling for me, so I decided to make a change and quit. Now, I am on a journey to find my true passion in life.

Recently, I have developed a strong interest in carpentry, furniture restoration, furniture design, and interior design.

Over the past six years, I have lived in three different countries (Lithuania, Greece, and the Netherlands), and I am still in search of the perfect place to call home.

After many years of working remotely, I greatly miss face-to-face interaction with new and interesting people. I find joy in traveling, being in nature, and meeting new people. These experiences are what truly enrich my life.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, spending time at the beach, and playing chess.

I am excited about the opportunities WorkAway offers and look forward to contributing my skills while learning from others along the way

More details about your skills

Currently, I have started online training in furniture design. I have also completed a basic practical course in carpentry, gaining a little skills in working with power tools and safety techniques. I'm almost certain I can keep all 10 fingers intact!:)

Over the past few weeks, I've been reupholstering six dining chairs, which I believe I'm doing quite successfully;) I'll show you the results soon.

Due to my respectable age, I have extensive experience in managing household affairs:)
If inspiration will come, I can prepare a magnificent cheesecake (just don't tell anyone about it:)

Age

41

What else ...

I am excited to gain new experiences and knowledge. I hope my skills will be useful to you.

I am hoping for a stay of at least three weeks.
