Description

*Volunteering in Italy until March 9th, then in Croatia at least until April 10th, available afterthat*

Hi, I'm Kacper, 27yo from Poland who loves to travel and in September 2026 I quit my "normal" job to do so.

Mostly, I travel by hitchhiking, which is for me the best way to get to know people and cultures. I hitchhiked through 22 countries in Europe in 3 big journeys and a few small local ones. During my travels I love to stay at social hostels when I'm in cities or wildcamp somewhere in nature when I'm in more secluded areas. Can't decide what I like more, I think I like to spend time in nature, but I love hostels' vibes and people.

I just started my volunteering experience in January with working in the hostels in Genova and Dubrovnik. I'm a person who can adapt quickly, so I can basically do anything. I'm well organised person at my work, who always is looking for ways to improve processes. I love to work with others and celebrate good teamwork. If I contacted you, that means that I'm okay with the tasks you need me to do.

In my professional life I did quite a lot of different things. I started at a car rental company at airports and as a taxi driver. I gained some experience in customer service there and also yes, I love to drive. I had some short experience in bartending at festivals as well. Then I worked in wellknown swedish furniture company for 5 years. The diversity of the tasks there was amazing and I also had opportunity to change departments and jobs. I designed kitchen projects, worked warehouse logistics, led showroom rebuilds, assembled furniture, visited people's homes for inside research, was involved in commercial marketing. Finally, for last 2 years I was leading the team as a manager. Unfortunately, in the end this destroyed my work life balance and I needed a big change in my life after that.

I love geography, maps, roads, rivers etc. and I have an actual talent with these things and orienteering. If I see something on a map just once, I can remember and use it. If I was somewhere few years ago, even now I could still navigate there and show places on the map. I also like hiking in the mountains, riding a bike, going to football games or playing some darts.

I'm excited to be part of your project, share experiences with you and learn from your way of life. Looking forward to meeting you and working together!
