Description
I'm currently taking a career break to rebalance, gain perspective and figure out my priorities and goals. Before, I spent over 4 years living in France and Germany and working in a fast-paced international organisation.

I love nature and animals, and I try to lead a simple, minimalist life. I like to read, take pictures, cook, hike, do sports, handcraft, draw. I'm interested in science, art, mindfulness and self-development.

I'm curious about people, places and cultures and I'm very open to new experiences. I enjoy discovering different perspectives. I also love to acquire new skills and learn in general!

More details about your skills
My background is in languages and design. I have experience working as a content creator, project manager, event organiser, social media manager, video editor, translator, interpreter, teacher, flight attendant, shop assistant, babysitter.

As a workawayer, I have helped at a farm, a guesthouse, a hostel, an art gallery and a meditation center. I have also volunteered for several NGOs and institutions back in my homecountry, mostly doing office and field work with refugees and migrants.

I'm a passionate handcrafter. I enjoy making ceramics, collages, embroidery. I like to be creative in a useful way, so I often try to reuse materials or repurpose objects. I also make my own cosmetics from raw ingredients.

I always travel with a camera and I enjoy taking pictures and making videos. Most of all, I'm interested in documentaries and animated films.

I also like to cook; I'm especially fond of vegetarian and low sugar dishes and desserts.

My big passion is also scuba diving. Water is my element and I love discovering the underwater world!

Oh and if you need help decluttering - I’m your girl! I thoroughly enjoy tidying and organising, and have helped my Workaway hosts regain control of their space and belongings on several occasions.

From the moment we met Julia, sporting a huge smile and sunny attitude to go with it, we knew she would be one of those helpers that would enhance your life with her presence. She was enthusiastic, took initiative, was thorough, friendly, engaging and embraced sharing her space with another helper. We absolutely loved having her helping hand to… read more

I had an absolutely amazing and creative time with Liz and Craig. Thanks to their caring, easy-going and open-minded attitude, I felt at home from day one. I learnt a lot about pottery, kiwi culture, and the reality of running a small art business. Work varied day to day, from weeding and planting to cleaning, tidying up and helping in the… read more

Oh where to begin...Julia was one in a million! Her smile that greeted us each morning was wonderful. Helpful in so many ways. She quickly became part of our family anticipating and fitting into our routine and lifestyle always willing to help and ask if anything needed to be done. Our 4 kids loved her! The most difficult thing we had to go… read more

This workaway experience was very special to me. The warmth of it will stay with me for long! Christina and Kelly totally stole my heart with their easy-going, kind, open-minded, generous and full-of-life attitude, and I learned a lot from them. They live in a beautiful place and there’s plenty to do and explore in the area in your free time. Also… read more

Julia stayed at our place during the pandemic and we can definitely confirm that she is a great help in whatever field she works. She was always very willing to help, hardworking, never causing any problems. She was helping Eliza in the kitchen and also cleaning the hostel. We would definitely miss her and wish her all the best in her future… read more

I spent 2 weeks in Udabno during winter season. There were not many guests and I mainly helped with cooking and cleaning at the hostel, also a bit with some construction/renovation works as preparation for the season. The owners were not there, so I worked only with Mosi, Eliza and 2 other volunteers. Most of the time I worked with Eliza, who is a… read more

Kate is a very warm, enthusiastic, open-minded person. She knows a loooot about herbs, edible plants, mushrooms, etc., so you'll surely learn a lot! She likes to try out new recipes and the results are always delicious. The house in Kopstal is a very cosy place to stay (full of books!) and the area is beautiful, perfect for biking/hiking and only… read more

I spent 10 beautiful days in here.
It's full of space - physical, mental, spiritual - and gives you the opportunity to slow down and take a break, in your own way.
Work is balanced and well-organised. I mostly helped with housekeeping and in the kitchen sometimes.
Communication was very good, open and honest. Annette, Oli, Hank and all the other… read more

My first workaway experience, hard to describe with words!! In the end I spent over a month at the farm, which very quickly felt like home. The place is very peaceful and beautiful, you live really close to nature. The work is varied, from taking care of animals to weeding, planting, picking... I enjoyed all the tasks, free time activities, living… read more

I spent two weeks in summer 2019. The place is lovely, a nice beach just a short walk away, breath-taking nature. You’ll work cutting vegetables watching the sun going down in the sea, literally! The work is quite flexible, some days are busy, some more relaxed. Diana and Nuri really make you a part of the team; as it’s a small place, you’ll work… read more
