Travelling
Description
Hello, I'm Cansu. I am traveling in South America since January 2022. While I am traveling, I want to gain experience on different jobs. This is why I'm on Workaway. I am an easygoing person, I can adapt to new environments quickly.
Since January I mostly only traveled by volunteering and it was mostly in hostels in different positions. So I have experience about working in hostels now.
I'm a quick learner. I love learning new things. I specially love handcrafts, for example I started making copper wire jewelries or my mom has a gift shop and we are making some of the jewelries, like friendships bracelets, hairwraps... And I am good at fixing jewelries if I have material to fix.
My english is good, and I really want to(and need to) learn Spanish. I am a bit lazy to do thing for myself but hopefully my spanish level is pre-intermediate now.
I studied cinema and I worked as a second assistant director in tv commercials. So I can shoot and edit simple videos or I can help your script(if you are writing screenplay).
Actually if you have camera I can make a commercial for your place.
I love all animals. I am a cat person, so if you have a cat or other pets at your place I will be playing or petting them all the time :D
I am a little scared from big animals, like cows or horses because I never had a time to know them. I don't know how they behave or what scares them, and this makes me anxious but I really want to know them.
I love cooking and sharing food:)
No, I don't really cook turkish food, I think my foods always have a mixed culture.
But I would enjoy cooking turkish food if you want :)Interests

I love animals and I am specially good with cats.
My family has a shop in a touristic area and I work there in summers. So I can communicate with tourists and I can solve their problems even if we don't speak the same language.
I worked as an assistant director in tv commercials. And assistant directing is basically planning and organizing. So if you have a project but don't know where to start, perhaps I can make a plan/schedule.
I love watercolor painting, I am not good at it but I love painting easy forms.
I am usually good at handcrafts. (I make copper wire rings, friendship bracelets or once I took ceramic classes and I was good for a beginner.)
I can edit videos. Or film videos.Age

And for me this is how a volunteering should be, because you are not working 25 hours like in the other hostels. And if it is posible, you can talk to Jeimy and reorganize your schedule. So if you have a problem, just tell… read more
