Description
Hello everyone! I am a 36 year old Hungarian girl, ready for new adventures.
In the past I worked as a prosecutor but in the last 1,5 years I have been being on a break to find out who I really am and what I really want to do in life.
So I’m on a “how to re-build yourself after spending 11 years at a stressful job” mission. :)
I am working on changing my life and being open to new opportunities and new ways of living. I'm keen to try new things and I'm a quick learner.

Since my childhood dream was work in the film industry, last year I attended to a film school on set decoration which I really loved. I am currently studying to become a script supervisor.

Anyway I have some workaway experience on gardening, painting, housekeeping, cleaning. Last time I worked in a camp at a sailing school in Sardinia, where my job was cleaning, wash the dishes, coordinate the children in doing some housekeeping and help with the breakfast.
I love nature, especially being near water. I like doing any kind of physical work (painting walls and furnitures, gardening, etc.), physical work is a form of relaxation for me. By volunteering, my aim is to learn a language, gain experience and discover myself.

Also I would really like to learn as much as possible about sailing and gain practical experience in it. I have a boat license valid for inland lakes and rivers, but I would like to gain more practical experience in sailing and also gain experience on the sea.

My hobbies are photography (specially making photos from an observer mode) and sports (sailing, kayaking, surfing, hiking, yoga, cycling, etc.).

So if you need a creative person with artistic sense and full of energy who is willing to learn and humble, I am here.:)

More details about your skills
I am a creative person. Taking photos is my main freetime activity. I took a photography course, where I learned how to take nature, portarait, building etc. photos.

Now I'm learning how to build a website with Wordpress.

I took a sailing course, getting an international certificate.

I have experience in painting walls and furnitures.

I lived in a small village as a kid. We had animals (cow, chicken, duck, pig) and big garden whit lots of vegetables. So I have experience with gardening and animal care. We had apricot and blackberry plantation too, so I spent many summers picking apricot and blackberry.

Finally, if you want, I can teach you all the magic spells and curse from the HP wizard world :)

I wholeheartedly recommend it!

I spent 3 weeks her in June, and then returned for another 10 days in September. It felt so good to come back, I truly felt like I was returning to a place where I had spent years before. At the camp, I met many kind and friendly people. Alice and Alessandro are wonderful hosts!!

My tasks at the camp included… read more keeping the communal areas and the outdoor kitchen clean, doing the dishes, assisting with breakfast, lunch, and dinner preparations, and coordinating the kids at the camp who helped with these tasks.
The work is physically not demanding at all, the hardest part might be the early mornings, for those who struggle with getting up early. There's always something to do, but I personally really enjoyed doing anything, and there is plenty of free time as well.

The camp area has two beaches, so you can alternate between them. The beaches are very close, you can easily hop over for a swim even before breakfast, and the sunrise from the closer beach is absolutely beautiful!!
I also had the opportunity to sail a couple of times. The first time, I spent two days on a bigger boat with Luigi and Serena, and then during my last week, I was able to attend a 3-day course on an RS Quest. I loved it!!!

You’ll sometimes find yourself in a situation where everyone around you speaks Italian :)) , which, personally, I didn’t mind at all, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable. As an introvert, I don’t crave constant interaction, and on the other hand, it gave me the opportunity to learn the language, especially with the help of my Spanish knowledge.

I have so many wonderful memories from my time there: the first Italian word I learned (spazzare) / Sergio’s delicious food and singing voice / olive oil / ping-pong battles with Luigi and Sam / Alice’s carefree dancing by the office table / Alessandro explaining clouds / mirto / Serena “speaking English very well and everywhere” / Maxi’s drawing he made for me / chats with Laura / the first stick insect I’d ever seen / amazing sunrises / morning swims in the sea / SPAZZOLINA / the Italian tongue twister I learned (I still remember it!!)

A huge thank you to Luigi for all the wonderful conversations, the pingpong games, and for teaching me the tounge twister and the sailing terms in Italian!:)

Dear Alice and Alessandro! I’m so grateful to have had hosts like you. Thank you for your kindness and for taking care of me, and for doing everything you could to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Thank you for all the conversations, and especially thank you to Alessandro for all the teaching and explanations about the boats, sailing, and clouds.

I continued learning Italian, so: Grazie mille per tutto, un grande bacio, spero di vederti presto! :)

Hosting Tunde was simply wonderful. If I could I'd give her six stars. She's an amazing hard-working volounteer.
We had the great pleasure of having her for two weeks at our base and from the first moment she arrived till the very last day she was incredibly available, kind and friendly with everyone. She fulfilled her daily task with exceptional… read more

I spent about 2 weeks at Annaliese and Tino's house.

I was originally a volunteer for a friend of Annaliese's, but I ended up helping Annaliese with the gardening. We mowed grass, weeded, planted tomatoes and composted. Annalise taught me a lot about composting, she showed me her own technique using algae. She is very passionate about her… read more
