Description
Hello!
I'm Sai, a positive, open-minded person, who loves being spontaneous and adventurous. I am currently based in Amsterdam and work in a data startup in the heart of the city. Prior to this I have had the great opportunity to travel to over 29 countries, make new friends along the way & be a part of various workaway projects.
I am an active person who prefers spending time outdoors in the countryside. Other interests include music, sports, psychology, photography, hiking. I have a dual Masters(Business Administration and Sport Management) that I completed in 2019 in Madrid. I am always happy to learn new skills and share all that I can with others.
Although I am currently working full time and cannot travel as much as I used to, I still like to take any opportunity to meet new people, share stories and discover new cultures. Please feel free to drop a message if you are in the same boat :)

I stayed at Teresa's place for two weeks. I had a wonderful time there.
Teresa is an easy person to stay and work with. She is very understanding and considerate. A couple of days when the temperature was too hot, she was kind enough to give me the day off. I also got to taste few of her special recipes and it was so good, be it Indian or Italian.… read more

Sai stayed in the house for almost a month and a half, and we were so heartbroken to leave him at the train station.
I know the beginning was a little bit rough after a drinking night, but we've connected quickly after that.

The work is interesting and diverse(not monotonous and repetitive) which gives the workawayer an opportunity to learn new skills.
