Description
Hi! My name is Ivan, I am 18 years old and I live in Olkusz, Poland. I was originally born in Ukraine and have been living in Poland for several years. Currently, I am studying Logistics at a local technical high school.
I am an active, hardworking, and reliable person who enjoys challenging myself and learning new things. I love meeting people from different cultures, experiencing local lifestyles, and stepping outside my comfort zone. For me, traveling is not only about seeing new places but also about personal growth, building meaningful connections, and gaining practical life experience.
One of my biggest goals is to improve my Spanish and immerse myself in Spanish culture. I am fascinated by Spanish cuisine, traditions, and way of life, and I would love to learn directly from local people while contributing to their projects.
In my free time, I enjoy sports, hiking, nature, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I am always happy to help, learn, and be part of a positive team. -

More details about your skills
I have several years of work experience despite my young age. For the past year, I have been working as a waiter, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, customer service experience, teamwork, and responsibility.
I have also worked as a helper at a local bakery for the last three years. This experience taught me discipline, punctuality, and how to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. I am comfortable with physically demanding work and understand the importance of reliability and consistency.
I have basic computer skills and can confidently use common software and online tools. I am always willing to learn new technical skills if needed.
I enjoy cooking and would love to learn more about local cuisines, especially Spanish cooking. I can help with meal preparation, cleaning, organizing, customer-facing tasks, and general daily responsibilities.
I also like animals and farm environments. I would be happy to help with animal care, gardening, outdoor maintenance, harvesting, and other farm-related tasks. -

What else ...
Sports and personal development are a big part of my life. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seriously and have participated in two local tournaments and one official competition. I also train kickboxing for fun and self-improvement.
In addition, I regularly work out in the gym and train for endurance events. I have completed my own Ironman-distance challenge and a 100 km run, which taught me discipline, determination, resilience, and how to stay positive during difficult situations. Because of my athletic background, I am comfortable with physically demanding work and enjoy staying active throughout the day.
What makes me happy is learning new things, meeting interesting people, exploring nature, hiking, traveling, and experiencing different cultures. I enjoy working toward goals and helping others while developing myself along the way.
I believe that the best experiences come from genuine human connections, hard work, and keeping an open mind. I am excited to contribute to my hosts’ projects, improve my Spanish, and create unforgettable memories while traveling. -
