Description

Hi! My name is Isabel! I am passionate about small and large journeys. Discovering a new places, cultures, flavors, smells and colors is my deepest passion. My favourite way of experience all the new places is through the lens of my camera. My favourite country is Italy, I am addicted to it. However, discovering every corner of Europe (for now) gives me a lot of joy. Because I love discovering, observing and experiencing how people live, what their day looks like, their customs and cuisine looks like. I graduated with a degree in international cultural studies, which I think can explain a lot. Currently, I am a photography student! I treat workaway as a potential new, amazing adventure in which I could combine getting to know the cultural layer of a given country from the inside with work and take some photography!



My name is Patrycja, by education I am a polish language teacher. However, my work with young people is not limited to school, because on a daily basis I also work at the foundation, which is dedicated to teaching young people self-presentation, thanks to the tools associated with oxford debates. What's more, I recently had the pleasure of working as a journalist. I am also the co-author of a book of poetry called "Underground." Thanks to my friend Izabel (with I'd like to go on a workaway right now), I'm increasingly opening myself up to travel - those near and far. On those cold winter days in Poland, I longingly look out for the sun, which recharges me with positive energy, and apparently I do it so systematically that I never run out of it! I am patient and eager to learn new things, to get to know other perspectives, because contact with other people - this is my favorite way to spend time.


Patrycja and I are a very harmonious and, I would say, reliable duo. We have been best friends and soul mates for 8 years now. We complement each other perfectly, and because we have known each other for so long and so well, we can fit together perfectly! Of course, we don't mind working separately as needed, so that each of us does the work we know how to do! We had the opportunity to work together in the grape harvest several seasons in a row and we did great! (I am attaching our photos also from this job!) We also worked together in a project with young people, where we went on study trips, where we worked as caregivers, project coordinator (Patrycja) and photographer (Izabela).

More details about your skills

Isabel: I move very freely in the world of social media. I think that my person will help You to create a unique photographic content. Due to the fact that my family has its own small vineyard and a plant nursery, I have some experience in gardening. I love renovating and rearranging furniture and doing small homework! I am not afraid of harder work, I have experience in grape harvesting in France, but also as a waitress and barista!

Patricia: I am a polish language teacher, so I would be happy to help with children's homework. My approach to students is all about honestly presenting what we are really interested in. I love to help realize any artistic projects. Moreover - I am a very fast learner. I am not afraid of hard work, as I worked for 4 years in grape harvesting in France. I love garden work, as it relaxes me a lot. I am also happy to help with work around the house. I am also open to learning new skills.

What else ...

Isabel: like cinema very much. My favorite director is David Lynch and my favorite movie is Frances Ha. I love concerts, especially outdoors! In addition, I really like vintage fashion, mountain hiking, yoga and my newest hobby that I started during the holidays is SUP swimming!

Patricia: I love to learn about new cultures through literature, music and movies. When it comes to books, I'm primarily interested in novels from the 20th century that depict the lives of the bohemian, artists of the time. In terms of music, I am closest to Polish alternative rock artists, but I also love this type of foreign artists, such as Artic Monkeys.
