Description
I'm a young woman, a nomad, solo traveller, I love all things nature, meeting new people, discovering new places, learning new skills...and learning about the world. I have wide range of interests: sustainable and self-sufficient living, gardening, environmental protection, ecology, animal care, psychology, spirituality, meditation, alternative ways of living, music......
I have a master degree in Ecology and I have a strong interest in protecting the environment and living in harmony with nature.
I have various work experience, mostly in hospitality, gardening and animal care, and I'm eager to learn new skills and help with any kind of work. I'm responsible and hard working person, I'm easy going, open-minded, quiet and friendly...
I've volunteered in many places, mostly not via workaway though. I love the concept of being able to go wherever I like and find possibilities to exchange my work for new skills, new experiences and friendships. Some examples of places I've been a volunteer at:
- Rescue centre for wild animals in Oostende in Belgium
- Cloudbridge nature reserve in Costa Rica
- Koh Phangan community garden in Thailand
- Faia Brava nature reserve in Portugal
- Kat Zoekt Huis cat rescue organization in Belgium
- Kinky Star music centre in Gent, Belgium
You can also see my profile on couchsurfing for personal references too: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/701007

I'm looking forward to new adventures!

I've stayed in Henna's BnB for 2 weeks and my time here was very pleasant. Unfortunately I haven't met Henna in person but the communication with her was smooth and clear. I admire her for the trust she gives to workawayers to run the business 😊 It was cool experience receiving guests and taking care of the place. It's a quiet little place perfect… read more

Marlena was a very responsible and independent workawayer. She took really good care of all our animals and especially the chickens had VIP treatment, they loved it and were never treated so well as by Marlena. Since Marlena came in a busy period at our jobs, she had to spend quite some time alone, but that was no problem at all. She was so kind… read more

I've stayed with Gudrun and Paulo for 2,5 months this year and it was great! I felt like at home from the very beginning. Gudrun and Paulo are such friendly, easy-going people. The accommodation conditions were excellent. They both work long hours but we always gathered for dinner every day. I really enjoyed how quiet and peacefull this place is… read more

I've stayed at a beautiful place for 3 months at the beginning of this year. It's a tranquil, quiet place, perfect to relax and just be at peace. The living conditions were excelent, with my own bathroom and kitchen due to lack of guests mostly because of pandemic. The work was varied and really easy. Sandra was also so kind to let me use the car… read more

I spent one week at Noam's little BnB, it was very good experience (actually my first volunteering via workaway!). Noam is a very nice man, friendly and easy-going, with a good spirit. I was happy to help out with cleaning around and cooking. I had my own room which was very comfortable and we always spent evenings cooking together with the… read more

It was very nice having Marlena around. We even went to a festival together. Whenever I needed help, she was available. She was excellent at cleaning and even learned to prepare Israeli dishes.I am missing Marlena, and hoping she will come back one day.
