Hello, lovely Workawayers!
I’m Lana, a 23-years old student from Slovenia who adores travelling, is a big foodie and quite an overthinker, so I'm always down for some good old what-is-this-life-about kind of debates haha. Perhaps that's why I decided to pursue philosophy after completing my bachelor's degree in education—to finally find the answers I've been seeking.
Anyway I love cracking jokes and I'm always up for exciting adventures. I am spontaneous, free spirited person, trying to live in the moment and appreciate everything life throws my way, whether it's good or bad. I love helping others in the best way possible and give back to the community while also taking care of our precious planet as much as I can.
What drives me? An insatiable desire to learn. Knowledge is my ultimate passion and my highest virtue. But don't get me wrong—I'm not just talking about textbook learning stuff. I'm referring to life experiences that enrich your soul, cultivate wisdom, and provide a deeper understanding of yourself, society, and life in general. That is why I have tried myself in all kind of different jobs, including waitressing, volunteering in the army, teaching, working with individuals with special needs, cooking, being a swimming instructor, accountant, au pair, and more. Currently, I work as a student in a hostel in our capital city, Ljubljana, and help at the art studio where I assist in organizing painting and clay lessons. In my free time, I love channeling my creativity into DIY projects, and it seems I don't run out of ideas! At the moment I am renovating an old bike:)
Why I am on Workaway? Because I believe its important to give back to community, to gain new experiences and to meet new lovely people:) Since I love kids and spending time with them truly make me happy, my first choice are the projects that are including teaching! I strongly believe that teachers have the chance to make a difference in the lives of children, providing them with guidance, support, and a safe space to learn and grow. One of the most rewarding thing for me is seeing a student evolving and achieving their goals!:)Interests
