Description

I love connecting with people from all around the world and learning about different cultures and languages. Traveling is a great privilege, and I truly value the opportunity to discover new places and ways of life.
Over the years, I’ve realized that living in a city no longer feels right for me. As a child, I spent most of my time outdoors, deeply connected to nature. Now, I’m dreaming of a more self-sustainable and simple life, closer to nature and far from the noise and rush of urban living.
Being in nature brings me joy and peace — it’s where I feel most alive and balanced. That’s why I’m motivated to shift my lifestyle and surround myself with what nurtures me, avoiding anything that takes me away from my happy place.
I have several years of experience working in the hospitality industry, and I absolutely love cooking and preparing food for others. I enjoy creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere — whether that’s in a kitchen, a café, or a shared home.
In my free time, I like to stay active and do a lot of sports, which helps me stay balanced and energized.
I’ve also volunteered at a hostel in Colombia, which was a wonderful and enriching experience. I really enjoyed being part of a team, helping travelers, and contributing to a positive, social environment.
Through Workaway, I hope to meet inspiring people, learn new skills, and contribute meaningfully to projects that align with my values.

More details about my language interests
A few years ago, I spent time traveling through South America and had the chance to practice Spanish intensively. I was able to communicate very well back then, but since I rarely use the language now, I would love to immerse myself in it again and improve my skills.

More details about your skills

I’ve traveled to many countries and learned how to adapt to a wide variety of situations. My experiences abroad have made me flexible, open-minded, and able to stay calm even when things get challenging.
Thanks to many years of experience in the catering and hospitality industry, I’ve developed strong organizational skills and know how to handle stressful environments with a clear head. I’m currently working in a café, where I interact with people every day — this has made me a polite, attentive, and understanding person.
One of my passions is cooking, especially mostly vegan meals. I really enjoy preparing food for others and trying out new recipes. I’d be delighted to learn more and exchange ideas in the kitchen.
My strengths are my social nature, strong work ethic, and willingness to help wherever I can. I'm a team player, but also very capable of working independently and taking initiative.

What else ...

I genuinely love bringing joy to others — whether through a kind gesture, a good meal, or simply positive energy. Being physically active is also very important to me; it keeps me grounded and energized.
I also have a big love for music — I enjoy listening to all kinds of genres and can’t resist dancing when the rhythm is right! I'm always up for a good vibe and open-hearted moments with others.
