Description

Hi! I’m Irina, originally from China, and I’ve spent the past several years living, working and traveling internationally. I’m curious about people, cultures and different ways of living, and I love experiences that allow me to connect with a place beyond being just a tourist.

I did my master in international hotel management in Australia and ever since worked and lived in Australia for the past 6 years. I had professional experience working in 5-star hotels, including food & beverage, front desk and duty management.

I’m also a certified yoga teacher and have a strong interest in wellbeing, mindfulness and conscious living. I enjoy creating peaceful and welcoming spaces, although I’m also very happy to help with practical, everyday tasks.

Since last year, I’ve been developing my skills in social media, content creation, writing and storytelling. I can help with Instagram/TikTok content, photography and videos, captions, basic content planning, community engagement and sharing the story of a place or project online.

I’m someone who takes responsibility for what I commit to. I’m happy to work independently, but I also enjoy being part of a team and meeting people from different backgrounds. I’m adaptable and not afraid of getting my hands dirty when there is practical work to be done. I have volunteered in several retreat centers and eco-farms, and been really enjoying them.

I’m particularly interested in volunteering with retreats, eco-projects, creative spaces, hostels, farms, community projects and small businesses where I can contribute my skills while learning something new.

Outside of work, I love yoga, movement, writing, art, travelling slowly, nature, meaningful conversations and discovering local culture.

I’m not looking for a purely transactional experience — I’d love to find a place where I can genuinely contribute, learn from the people around me, and become part of the experience for a while. :)
