Description

Hello,

I'm Kristina.

I'm originally from Yakutia (the coldest inhabited region of the world), now I live in Germany.

Workaway gives me the opportunity to get to know new places and meet new people. This is a part of my life journey.

I belong to Indigenous peoples in Siberia. I was born in Yakutia, it is very isolated and remote, that's why I moved to Germany 13 years ago.

I studied in Austria and Germany and now I work as a German and English teacher online. My workaway experiences were in Denmark, Iceland, Germany, Austria, Turkey. I did a lot of different kind of work: house keeping, cleaning, gardening, hostel work, painting, renovating, cooking, registering books etc.

Every week I hold a virtual meeting session with Sakha people in Europe, where we speak our native language - Sakha in order not to forget it, as it is a minority language. Also I love to knit Icelandic lopapeysur, play Khomus, our traditional music instrument to meditate, I do Yoga, read books.

Nature religion is the belief of my people, they call it Shamanism. We have a strong bond to the nature and respect its rules.

Thank you for reading. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My two weeks at Bjarni's place were INCREDIBLE! Registering books was a very easy and interesting task. By this way I could learn a little bit Icelandic, which is challenging though but very interesting. During two weeks I've stayed in Selfoss with plenty of trips to the mountains, lakes, rivers, Geysir (etc...) I felt myself as if I jumped into … read more

It was a great experience to stay at this hostel. From the first day Klaus and Samson accepted me as a family member. They made me feel like home and took a good care of me. It was a pleasure to paint the walls, smooth and paint timbers for beds, sometimes to cook for everybody and etc. I was always appreciated for the work I've done.
