  • More details about your skills

    I am currently active as graphic designer; so I have some knowledge of arts and visual content creation. However I'd love to find jobs which involve being outdoors more. I also have my own small company where I create murals and other graphic arts projects (wedding invitations, birth cards, signs). I love the diversity of the job.

    I enjoy painting, cooking, photography and learning new skills.
    I have done volunteering work twice - once in Hungary where I, (together with a group of volunteers), built a garden for people with a disability who lived in the joined home. The work involved tearing down reinforced concrete, painting and planting a garden.

    The other time was in Gambia, where we raised money to built a second building for a school. This included: construction work, mixing cement, painting, collecting water from the well and entertaining the children.

    I have travelled to Norway for my first two Workaway trips, where some of the tasks involved: chopping wood, weeding, cleaning (which I find strangely satisfying...), tearing down a boathouse, painting and more. I enjoyed this so much, that I decided to continue this travelling journey.
