Description

Hi my name is Špela (19).

I am taking a gap year after high school to travel and hopefully find out who I am. Usually I like to spend time outdoors, meet new people and make new friends. Going on advantures that always become good stories afterwards is a big passion of mine. Even if something isn't a good idea, it will for sure make a good story. And when I'm at home I like to spend as much time with my friends as possible.

Thrifting the clothes I own and visitting all the second-hand shops in every place I visit is my passion :)
I also like to draw, paint and do sports, especially horse riding and rock climbing (I will do a pull up every time I walk past a beam).

I am hardworking and pick up things quickly while triing to find new solutions and new ways of making things work when I learn new skills.

My previous work experience consists of working as a barista/server in 2 coffee shops and working with horses on 2 farms, working as an English teacher in a school for a month... I am a fluent English speaker and beginner in German.

More details about your skills

Hello, I am fluent in English ( I have a B2 certificate) and Slovenian (native), and I am really proud to say that I am now on an intermediate level in German. I love to work with people and am very creative. I am a decent cook and love trying out new recipes which I usually make up depending on what I find in the fridge. I have experience in animal care (horses, cats and dogs), I worked in 2 coffee shops which gave me good skills in working with people. I have some experience in child care (working as a birthday party animator, babysitting my cousins), I have some gardening experience (weeding, watering, planting basic vegetables...). I learn new skills quite fast so I believe I should be able to do almost anything if its explained to me.

I stayed with Nina and her family for 2 weeks and eventhough my time there was short it was one of the best volunteering experiences I have had.

I got to learn about western style riding and training horses in western style. Since I am aspiring to be a psychiatrist I was interested in horse assisted therapy that Nina does and I am really grateful … read more

I stayed at the school for a month and the experience was amazing. The children were really sweet and the teachers were kind. I was there during lessons and exams so I could say I got the full teacher experience :)
Apart from the class I had the oppurtunity to attend a Khmer wedding, a Songkran celebration before Khmer new year, I got to try local … read more

I stayed with Barbara a little less than a month and had the best time. I had a lot of free time that I could spend with my fellow workawayers and even the working time was fun since I could do it with other people. I particularly enjoyed lunch that we ate together every day and the time I was able to spend with the horses. It was my first … read more
