Description

Hi there!
My name is Alena. I'm 24 and last few years I'm living my wonder wander life.
Currently staying in a small surf village in Morocco.

I'm constantly on the lookout for something that ignites my heart. This year I was crossing South Pacific by a sailing boat then traveling around New Zealand by a van. Easygoing quiet simple lifestyle surrounding by an amazing nature that's all I'm falling for. Back to my country, I have participated in many nature reserves volunteer programs and I am sure that the experience that volunteering gives you is more valuable than money.

The feeling of freedom I find in traveling, meeting new people, and witnessing the beauty of our amazing planet make me truly happy. I want to continue exploring this world and built new skills in different fields.

Right now I'm really passionate about photography. And if you need visual content for your project or blog, I will be glad to help you.

More details about my language interests
I am currently actively working on improving my English so that I can speak it fluently. While traveling, I also started learning Spanish. Although it's not easy for me to learn languages, this activity is very inspiring, because it allows me to dive deeper into a new culture. I will be happy to try to learn a new language and, if necessary, help you learn my native language.

More details about your skills

I am a medical engineer by training. Although I work in the technical field, I am a very creative person by nature. I can do a lot with my own hands and really appreciate manual labor as an idea.

I can help with the arrangement of the space, both with the design of the decor, and with some construction work. I find painting walls and working with wood (sawing, sanding, covering) very exciting. I enjoy working with plants, in my house I have a whole small garden of indoor and garden plants. 

I can and love to cook. For 4 months I worked as a cook in a surf camp, where we fed 80 people delicious and beautiful food every day. The kitchen for me is an opportunity to please my family, have a great time with friends, or immerse myself in the culture of the place where I am.

A skill I'm currently actively developing is photography, where I can use the camera lens to save precious memories and tell stories. 

There was one year in my life when I taught children dance and rhythm. I've been dancing for 19 years and I love it very much. And sharing something that really inspires you with your kids is amazing. The children and I easily found a common language and had fun.

For 8 years I have been a volunteer at a shelter for homeless animals. During this time, I learned how to care for dogs, cats and a little bit of horses. In addition to walking and feeding, I can give pets injections, pills and a lot of my love.

Everything I wrote above is interesting and important. But I consider my main skill to be the ability and desire to learn new things. I hope to add to my list of skills in the near future.

What else ...

I love the ocean and surfing. I love to make coffee in the morning, and then drink it, enjoying the tranquility, quiet conversation and the atmosphere of waking up. I love music always and everywhere. I love to smile and I love people who smile. I like to take pictures on film and develop it after a few months, remembering my amazing adventures. I love long walks and hiking. I love playing board games. I love watching sunsets and good movies.
