Travel information

I am currently

Description

I’m currently traveling through Canada for three months, and most of the time I use Couchsurfing because I love connecting with locals and experiencing places more authentically. Along the way, I’ve realized how much I enjoy staying longer in one place — really getting to know the people, the rhythm of life, and being part of a community.

Workaway gives me the chance to do exactly that — to contribute through hands-on work while learning more about the local culture and daily life. I truly enjoy being physically active and helping out wherever I can, whether it’s in the garden, with animals, around the house, or supporting a personal project.

I’m open-minded, respectful, and easygoing. I sometimes travel solo and sometimes with others, but I always try to be mindful, helpful, and never a burden. I believe in meaningful exchanges and look forward to enriching experiences through genuine human connection.

More details about your skills

I’m a trained social worker and have several years of experience working with children and teenagers in various social and educational settings. I love animals and, whenever time allows, I volunteer at a nearby animal shelter in my hometown.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors — hiking, exploring nature, or helping friends and family with home renovations or gardening. I’m always happy to lend a hand wherever it’s needed.

I’m open-minded, quick to learn, and enjoy taking on new challenges. I value hands-on experiences and love connecting with people from different backgrounds.

I’m new to Workaway, but I’m excited about the journey ahead and looking forward to gaining a wide variety of experiences while learning from others and contributing in meaningful ways.
