Description

Hi, I’m Igli, a creative and adventurous traveler with a passion for volunteering, cultural exchange, and making meaningful connections.

With a degree in Graphic Design and a Master’s in Cinematography, I have nearly 10 years of experience as a graphic designer, photographer, and videomaker. I love working on creative projects, whether it’s designing flyers, managing social media, capturing stunning photos, or producing engaging videos. I also have my own professional laptop and camera gear, so I can bring high-quality content to any project.

Beyond my creative side, I have experience in hostel work, guest engagement, and general maintenance. Over the past months, I’ve volunteered in Thailand and Sri Lanka, helping with reception, bartending, and creating a welcoming environment for guests. My background in 5-star resorts across Spain, Greece, and Italy has taught me how to make every traveler feel at home.

I’m also a digital nomad, working part-time on my laptop while dedicating the rest of my time to volunteering, exploring new places, and meeting incredible people. I thrive in social atmospheres, enjoy DIY projects, and am always happy to help with tech-related issues.

Excited for new experiences and opportunities to contribute wherever I go!

Amazing Workaway experience. From the first day you feel part of a family, not just another volunteer. Shifts are easy, well organized and fun, especially at the bar and with guests. There are a lot of parties, DJ nights and social activities, but also space to chill when you want.

You are really free to bring your own ideas, propose activities … read more
