Description

Hi! I'm Maja, 29 years old girl from Poland. I am currently having my first Workaway experience! :)
What motivates me most is learning from new people and experiencing different ways of living. That's the reason why I decided to move to New Zealand and experience life on the other side of the world. I’m happiest when I can contribute to a project, feel part of a team, and see that my help makes a difference. I love meaningful conversations, exploring new places, and being surrounded by nature and like-minded people. Helping others, gaining new skills, and sharing positive energy are things that truly make me feel fulfilled.

During my university years, I was a member of the Erasmus Student Organisation, and I really enjoyed that time! Meeting new people from different parts of Europe, showing them around my city, learning about their cultures, and helping them feel at home was incredibly fulfilling.

More details about your skills

I graduated from a University of Sience&Technology. For the past five years, I worked in the refrigeration industry as an Operations Coordinator. My role required a lot of multitasking. I was responsible for equipment stock, placing orders, staying in touch with suppliers, preparing cost calculations for our clients and coordinating the installation of cooling systems in stores.

During my stay in New Zealand I'd love to gain some experience in gardening and on a farm, as I love animals.
I am hard-working, detail-oriented, sociable, reliable and a fast learner.

During one summer break, I also worked as a shop assistant.
I already painted the walls in three flats in Poland. ;)
