Description
Hello :)
I'm an experienced traveller who is eager to learn about different cultures and meeting new people! I've lived in Hungary and Luxembourg and backpacked around Europe in the mid-2010s. Then I travelled to Vietnam for 2 months and to South America for more than a year, where I was doing almost exclusively workaway in many different cities and countries! I worked in hostels and I was teaching English, helped out with cleaning, maintenance, and reception. It was the best time of my life and I still think about it daily.
I have a degree in English teaching and translation, and since the start of the pandemic I've been teaching English and Hungarian online. I would love to go and meet people again (I'm fully vaccinated) and find a new purpose - to do something that makes a difference and to create something that I enjoy. I am very flexible, friendly, and I have experience in living in a very international environment. I'm very responsible with the tasks I'm given and I do everything with care and consideration. Looking forward to meeting new people!

I spent one week at Jane's place and it was amazing! :) Jane and Francisco welcomed me in their home, and they really went out of their way to show me as many things in Cantabria as they could. Francisco took me to different places by car, and I had lovely bike rides and walks with Jane. I visited caves, spent time on beautiful beaches and… read more

Revisando nuestra historia, decidimos destacar a los voluntarios que fueron de gran ayuda para nosotros y Nikolett fue una de ellos. Siempre bien predispuesta, preparada y con buena energía, responsable y organizada.
Muchas gracias y siempre bienvenida por acá!!!

Nikolett was one of our best volunteers, she was always willing to help and very professional with customers and responsible with her duties, as a hostel owner I highly recommend her to other workaway hosts, I wish her the best on the rest of her trip and hope to come across to workawayers like her, with her sense of responsibility and good sense… read more

I spent 3 weeks in this hostel in August/September, and had a great time! The hostel is located outside the touristy areas, this way you get to experience the more authentic side of the city. You can book tours directly from the hostel, it's convenient and costs the same or less than the agencies in the centre! The work was very relaxed and easy,… read more

I loved volunteering in this hostel! I found it many months before arriving to Arequipa (or even Peru), and always reminded myself to contact them when I get closer. So happy I did! Out of the hostels I volunteered at in South America so far, this was the best organized. It is run very professionally, and the result is a friendly hostel with great… read more

It was nice to spend one week in August with Alejandro, Milli and Arantxa! They were really friendly, they make you become part of their family during your stay. Unfortunately I was sick almost the whole time, I did my lessons but I did not have much energy to socialize, and I regret that. It was interesting to see a different neighbourhood of… read more

I volunteered here for two weeks in July/August - there were two volunteer positions, one for the bar in the evenings and one for the breakfast in the mornings. I worked in the mornings - making a LOT of pancakes :) and keeping the breakfast area clean, afterwards changing bedsheets and cleaning floors with the staff for the remaining 1-1.5 hours… read more

I spent three weeks here back in June, this was my first hostel-workaway! I really enjoyed the work - you are at the reception for five hours, morning, afternoon or evening. We had a great time with the other volunteers and guests, especially when I worked at ladies' night :D
During my first days I was a bit nervous, but I was left at the… read more

I spent a few days in Peter's house and it was a very interesting experience! He showed me around the farm and explained how everything works and how the farm is going to expand in the future. You can do gardening or house maintenance tasks, all these in a relaxed environment. Nature is all around you here, I loved the waterfall just a few minutes… read more

This workaway was a highlight of my Vietnam trip! I wish I could have stayed longer than just a few weeks, because the atmosphere was so great and I made many good friends. I received lesson plans for my classes, and usually a teaching assistant was present during the lessons, too. The work was easy, although sometimes there were last minute… read more

Hi Nikolett
I'm really thankful for your help both in Sai Gon and Sapa. You are the girl that motivated my students a lot through your Journey.
Thanks for your lessons, your conversations inside and outside of our classes. We couldn't have such a great lesson like that without your help.
We wish you all the best on your continued travel. I'm… read more

This Workaway was a really great experience for me, and I am very thankful for all the staff for being so welcoming and nice during my stay!

First, I stayed for two weeks in Ho Chi Minh city. The volunteer apartment is in a separate residential area. I had my own room, but we also spent a lot of time together with the other volunteers.… read more

Thank you very much for your help us out. When Nikolett applied to our program, we highly appreciated her experience of working and looked forward to working with her, but unfortunately our availability space only for 2 weeks for her last time. Nikolett is one of very nice volunteers that we have ever had. If we weren't full of volunteer in her… read more

I spent only two weeks volunteering here because of my travel schedule, but it was a very rewarding experience! The lessons are fun, and the students are creative and willing to learn! Both weeks we went on a day trip with motorbikes - we discovered places that are far away from the main tourist sights but they are just as exciting. The food is… read more
