Description

Hi! My daughter told me about Workaway, and I immediately thought: I absolutely have to try it. I've always loved to travel, and what I find so wonderful about it is getting to know other people and cultures. For my job—I'm a literary translator and author—constantly receiving new inspiration is essential. I'm someone who enjoys observing things and having great conversations. I believe that a fulfilling life should be diverse, so I have countless hobbies, which, of course, I can't all pursue at once. A few of them are hiking, cycling, woodworking, singing, dancing, gardening, and acting. I hope Workaway opens up new perspectives for me and that I can be of help to the hosts. Although I'm not the youngest Workawayer, I'm all the more enthusiastic and excited. I have many years of experience with household chores and tasks around the house, including gardening.

More details about your skills

Hi! My profession is literary translator, but I also completed a teaching degree in German for secondary school in Hungary. My other skills include: I'm quite proficient with computer software and well-equipped for both analog and digital tasks. As for physical labor, I have experience in gardening, painting, cleaning, and all the usual household chores. I also enjoy cooking typical Hungarian dishes or baking cakes from time to time. But if I can choose I prefer to spend my time working outdoors.
