Description

To get to know more about me check skmusic.eu

Hello there! My name is Sanja, I'm a Slovenian girl who was born and raised in Germany until I was 10, spent 11 more years in Slovenia and then 5 very colourful ones in Tokyo, Japan first studying and later working as a photographer, model, manager, translator and PA.

Returning to Europe in 2016, for the next 6ish years, I have been working as an international artist manager (incl. travel logistics, tour support, administration and social media management) for a musical project called Juno Reactor and travelled a good part of the world touring while also working as a photographer, graphic designer (incl. website design, VR & AR) and IT all-around.
A glimpse of that on: skmusic.eu/juno-reactor

From March 2022 till January 2023 I was living in the far north of Sweden, working as a manager and all-around support for a sled dog kennel - which evolved out of a volunteer trip which was found here on workaway :)
see more about that on: skmusic.eu/snowdog

March 2023 - May 2023
Sailed 200 nautical miles through Puerto Rico and USVI on a custom Morrelli & Melvin 62 foot performance catamaran called Nizhoni, learning to sail and maintain such a boat (check my IG _immortalangel for videos about that). Did a lot of underwater photography and drone photography on each location we stayed at.
Next I sailed from Miami over Nassau (Bahamas) to Bermuda - a bit over 1000nm - on a Lagoon 50 called Nauti Cat, doing day and night watches and helping maintain the boat.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

In my quest for a new chapter, I am in search of a role that not only offers inspiration and adventure but also provides fair compensation (depends on kind of work, of course - not for anything like gardening or so). I am eager to find opportunities that enable me to continue exploring new places, embracing different cultures, and engaging in meaningful work. Whether it's project management, artist management, or a role that allows me to leverage my skills in the middle of wild nature, I am ready to take on challenges, assume varied responsibilities, and embark on a journey of perpetual learning and growth.

(Photos in my "photos" section as well as on my website skmusic.eu are all taken by me (except for a few where I'm on), including videos)

I have a Snowmobile License issued by the Swedish transport agency.

More details about your skills

I've made a page (first meant just as a photography portfolio page) outlining and organising my experience and skills, so feel free to click on the various buttons and read more about it. I also welcome you to explore the project pages (in the menu) of Snowdog and Juno Reactor and how my work there looked in photo and video.

I like solving problems - identify, research, learn, solve, and optimise (that's pretty much my job) but also enjoy just following a schedule/tasks and spending the rest of the day gazing at beautiful nature and reading. I can help with the online presentation of businesses or projects, provide photography and videography services, and help visualize your renovation project (3D architecture/interior visualization as well as with actual renovations/light carpentry, 3D scanning, creating floor plans etc), if you have a music project ill be able to help as well.

My parents are very passionate about sustainability, ecological food and gardening so I've been learning a lot about that through the years (we have about 200sqm of veggie gardens and grow most of our food).

What else ... business development, product development, logistics in tourism or travel, calligraphy, website design, project management, event organisation, sewing, diving, or training and taking care of dogs ...

What I very much look forward to on volunteer trips is learning something completely new and random (like planting rice in Yakushima or milking cows in Iceland) immersing myself in that work without the usual modern life and stress-type thoughts, experiencing new lifestyles and learning about local culture and people.

What else ...

Passionate about photography (from macro, underwater, over "normal" to 360 and drone), animals (training, caring for, cuddling the living hell out of), travel (obviously), 3D modelling, 3D scanning, psychology (and reading/exploring/chatting about it), new interesting or unusual tech (AI, IR cameras, brain wave reading headbands, XR...), sponging up new knowledge and skills - I think the point of life is to keep learning, being inspired, evolving and enjoying all the different interesting things the world has to offer.
