Description

Hi everyone,

I'm eager to see more of the world and discover where life might lead me. I believe that meaningful experiences, new cultures, and the people we meet along the way can teach us more than any classroom ever could.

I'm currently studying Criminology, but my interests extend far beyond my studies. I love spending time outdoors, being surrounded by nature, reading, learning, and exploring different perspectives on life. I'm a curious person who enjoys stepping outside of my comfort zone and embracing new experiences.

What makes me happiest is connecting with people, learning new skills, having meaningful conversations, and feeling that I'm contributing to something worthwhile. Through Workaway, I hope to grow as a person, gain practical experience, and create genuine connections with people from different backgrounds.

I'm excited to see where this adventure takes me.

More details about your skills

I've been living in a student dormitory for the past four years, so cooking, cleaning, laundry, and sharing responsibilities with others are all part of my daily life. This has taught me how to be independent, responsible, and respectful when living and working with other people.

At home, I regularly help with maintaining the garden and other outdoor tasks. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and I enjoy physical work, especially when I can spend time outdoors.

I'm always eager to learn new skills and challenge myself. For example, I recently completed a basic electricity course to gain practical knowledge and become more self-sufficient. I enjoy learning by doing and I'm quick to adapt to new tasks.

As a student, I've worked in several stores and factories, which has taught me the importance of reliability, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. These experiences have made me comfortable with both independent work and working as part of a team.

Also over the past five summers, I have worked as an animator, organizing and leading activities for children aged 6 to 12. This experience has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and a sense of responsibility, while also learning how to create a fun and safe environment for kids.

While I may not have experience in every area, I am motivated, hardworking, and willing to learn whatever is needed to contribute positively to a project.

What else ...

I enjoy staying active and taking care of my physical and mental health through sports and an overall healthy lifestyle.

I’m always happy to join in for a board game or other relaxed social activities with friends.

In addition, I would love to improve my surfing skills and spend more time in the water whenever I get the chance.
