Description

Hi, I am Magda! I am full of optimism, hardworking, and energy person. For over 7 years I have been traveling combining work and volunteering. I love living on suitcases and sharing my knowledge and skills with others. I love mountains, pastries, and long walks! I love cats too! ;)

Dear future host, if you’re looking for someone who can help you with your NGO, house duties or business, don’t hesitate to send me a message! :)

Below is my working and volunteering abroad experiences:
- 3 months in Sri Lanka - helping in Preschool on Tsunami Camp, organize activities in the common room, painting schools,
- 1,5 years in the USA - as Au Pair in the American family, and volunteering on the reception in a local hospital,
- 3 months in Zambia - helping in 2 schools in slums and in the house for disabled children, support to open a local business + 4 years of support of Foundation marketing ,
- 6 months in China - as Au Pair to teach and play with Chinese 6 years old girl,
- 10 months in Spain - on ESC program to help local NGO - marketing, creative activities, teaching English, and share information about sustainable projects,
+ another 2 months in Spain - workaway in the eco project - helping in the garden & support in creating eco-village,
- 3 months in Tanzania - helping in the local NGO in the preschool with kids & in the garden; activities for youth and project for women.
- 14 months in Portugal - working in customer service on a bank project.
- 1,5 months in Bolivia - 1 month on the eco project in Madidi Park (garden, cooking, conceptual work) and 2 weeks in a hostel in Sucre (cleaning, reception and marketing)

Traveling has allowed me to experience so many amazing things, meeting a lot of wonderful people from different cultures, religions, and countries. It has enriched me as a person on every level. I am more open-minded and truly happy!

Volunteering has completely changed my life! It all started from 4 years in a dog shelter in Poland. Now I cannot imagine my life without helping others.

Please, let me know how I can help you and I hope to see you soon! :)

More details about your skills

I have experience in various fields - especially customer contact, selling, organization of events, social media, copywriting, learning, and looking after the children, and a little in the marketing area. I am a fast learner and I like trying new things. I have been living in different cultures for several years, so I assimilate quickly, becoming a part of a given society :)

I will be happy to help you in your business, especially in a hotel, restaurant, and I will look after your home or farm. I believe that if we want to, we can learn everything!

What else ...

I really like long walks, sightseeing and climbing. In my spare time, I read books, learn Spanish, and do exercises. For over 4 years I have also been helping in marketing for the Foundation from Zambia. Mostly I like to spend the evenings by my own, but i have nothing against in spending time together and exploring the area together.
