Description
I'm from Moldova, a tiny country in Eastern Europe (that no one has heard of, including you? 😊).
It's my second long journey in India because somehow, in spite of all it's madness, it feels more familiar than my own country.
To make this experience more complete and meaningful, I would like to spend more time in one place, with locals, and get to know the culture better from the inside.
I'm curious, enthusiastic, responsible and very flexible, so I learn and adapt to new situations easily.

More details about your skills
I have 4.5 years experience of working as an English teacher to students aged 5-55 years old through fun and efficient methods and games.
I also teach Arts&Crafts, where I create the space for children to get creative while painting, working with clay, sewing, making macrame, etc.
Having previously worked as a sales advisor and waitress, I like interacting with customers, so I could help with managing a guesthouse/hostel, working with tourists, cooking and cleaning.
I have also lived on farms before, so I'm familiar with that life and don't mind the hard physical work.
Age
32
What else ...
Things that make my heart full: mountains and the ocean, yoga, cats, getting lost in new places, making things with my own hands, endless conversations about everything and nothing, coconut trees, chai.

So much love !
This place attracts the most beautiful travellers, all with the best energies and stories.
There's a bit of work, a bit of chilling, but my favourite part is that volunteers are encouraged to create and share their skills and knowledge with the others. We painted some walls, led yoga classes, macrame and massage workshops, etc. and… read more

In 10 days here, I learnt more about India than in 9 months travelling across the country. Rajen is such a great host and an inexhaustible source of knowledge and wisdom. Moreover, the place is surrounded by lush forest, rivers and a waterfall you can take dips in.
You'll learn about Buddhist practices, from meditation exercises to indulging in a… read more

Living and working on this farm is the best form of meditation. Doing all kinds of work in the garden/forest/kitchen brings you in contact with nature and makes you so present, of yourself and everything around you. I learnt about permaculture (mulching, transplanting, composting), Indian cooking, fixing mud ovens and a sustainable lifestyle.

I had the best time with Babu's family. Babu told me a lot about India, its cast system, religions, society norms and Nandini shared so much about the Indian cuisine, the Rajasthani culture and what's like to be a woman in it. Our chats in the kitchen while cooking and cleaning became some of my favourite things in my travels here.
I'm very… read more

Staying with Saroj and his family during the last days of my trip to Nepal made my whole experience in this country even much better! Away from the noisy and dusty streets of Kathmandu, in a quiet area with just locals, in the middle of a welcoming family was such a good way to discover Nepal. There's not much work to do there, so we spent our… read more

I spent 10 days here and though it was my first experience as an English teacher, I fell in love with those loud but very sweet and smart kids. The staff was superhelpful, always taking good care of me. Had a room for myself, food was included and the Wi Fi connection was good. It's a great opportunity to both work with kids and discover the Khmer… read more
