Activities i am interested in:

On my perfect trip I’d spend mornings skiing, surfing or hiking — and evenings sharing food and songs with new friends on the beach.

Description

I find happiness in staying active, being creative, and exploring the world in meaningful ways. I’m passionate about sports — I enjoy calisthenics, running, and especially skiing and surfing when I get the chance. These activities keep me energized, focused, and connected with nature.

Cooking is another big part of my life. I’ve been preparing my own meals for over four years, and I love experimenting with different cuisines from around the world. It’s both a relaxing and rewarding way for me to express myself.

I’m also a film enthusiast. I enjoy classic cinema and thoughtful storytelling — my favorite films include The Sound of Music, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Casablanca. Movies inspire me, offer new perspectives, and spark interesting conversations wherever I go.

What really motivates me is discovering new places off the beaten path and immersing myself in different ways of life. During my gap year, I’m taking time to explore not only the world, but also myself — I’m searching for my own path in life, gaining experience and perspective that will help me decide on the right direction and prepare for my dream university studies.

I’m a charismatic, open-minded person with a lot of positive energy. I love connecting with others, learning new things, and embracing new challenges with enthusiasm and curiosity

More details about your skills

I have hands-on experience working with children as a playroom assistant and activity leader. I helped organize birthday parties, supervised play, and created a fun, safe environment for kids of various ages. I also worked as an animator, planning games and interactive activities that kept children engaged and happy — these roles taught me patience, creativity, and strong responsibility.

I’ve also worked in a beach bar, where I was responsible for taking orders, serving customers, and keeping the area clean and welcoming. This experience strengthened my communication skills and taught me how to stay calm and efficient even in fast-paced, busy environments. I enjoy working with people and always aim to create a positive and friendly atmosphere.

I speak English fluently, confirmed by the CAE (Certificate in Advanced English), and I hold a Category B driver’s license, which gives me flexibility and mobility for different work locations.

I also have experience working in a kitchen, where I helped with food preparation and supported the team during busy hours. I’m comfortable working in a fast-paced kitchen environment, and I always maintain a clean and organized workstation. I’m familiar with basic hygiene and safety rules, and I take pride in being efficient and focused. I enjoy cooking a variety of dishes and have a growing knowledge of different world cuisines, which I’ve also explored through my own cooking for over years.
