Description
Hello beautiful people!

My name is Ida, I'm an adventurous Slovenian soul.
I love to discover new places and connect with other people around the world. Meeting new people and learning their way of life is always so interesting for me. I completed my Bachelor's degree in ethnology, cultural anthropology, and art history.

After finishing the university, I went to the Middle East with a one-way plane ticket and a small backpack. Instead of school, my teacher became the world: traveling companions, locals and countless experiences. On my travels I am discovering the beauty of the world, and I do various voluntary work among my way.

After more than a year later, I am still on the road:)

About me :) I am a very positive, sociable, sporty, flexible, open-minded woman. As an anthropologist I am able to create beautiful connections with people of all ages and nationalities and feel comfortable in different working and living situations. I'm creative in arts and crafts. I am very passionate about scuba diving, photography, all kinds of art, good reggae music and latino dances. I dance salsa and bachata.

I stayed in Ibiza for around 3 weeks and I had the best time with Lada, Nalur and Vicky. They are such a sweet family and they made me feel very welcomed. The caravan I was staying was an absolute dream. I definitely recommend staying with them if you want to have more authentic experience in Ibiza. This was exactly what I was looking for.

I had amazing memories of the hostel. I worked at the bar and I had such a good time working there (making cocktails and organizing beer pong). All the staff and the other volunteers were friendly, positive and we become like a family at the end. I could join group salsa classes and tours around the town. I am grateful that I could come even… read more

I had the best time in Palestine while hosted by lovely family. Unfortunately, I stayed there only 2 weeks. However, I learned so much about Eco /nature friendly gardening. Saleh is having a lot of knowledge about permaculture and he is always willing to share his knowledge with others. I was glad that we could openly talk about many different… read more

The organic farm is away from the cities and I was surrounded by nature for two weeks, which I appreciated a lot. My tasks were varied, so it was never too difficult for… read more
