Description

Hi there! :)

I'm in the UK right now :)
For the last two years, I’ve been involved in volunteering, and I’ve found it to be a truly meaningful experience. Most of my volunteering has been under ESC programs in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Poland, and France. During this time, I’ve gained valuable experience and knowledge, met amazing people from all over the world, and built great connections. I really enjoy working with people—it’s something unique to explore a new culture every time I visit a different country.

As a person, I’m pretty ordinary. I play guitar, enjoy skateboarding, love low cars, and have a passion for motion graphics. I have a few dreams: to create my own music, learn how to sing, and get back into dancing. I also enjoy fixing things—more specifically, repairing cars, working on mechanical parts, painting them, lowering them, and taking them to various exhibitions. However, it’s never been my job, it’s just something I love to do.

Three years ago, I decided to dive into 3D graphics. I worked as a 3D environment artist at a game dev studio. During my volunteering experience, I shifted my focus to motion design. While I don’t have much free time, I still manage to create a some animations whenever I can.

I think it’s a great idea to continue volunteering and meet wonderful people through Workaway.
Who knows, maybe it will change my life for the better.

More details about your skills

My first volunteering experience was in Romania, in a small city called Resita. We were teaching kids English, Mathematics, and other subjects, as well as organizing various events. We also had a youth center where we invited young people from Resita and organized different activities for them. It was my first experience, but it was a very good start for me.

My second project was in the mountains of Bulgaria, near Petrich, where we were renovating two buildings for tourists. It was very difficult physical work, but we didn’t find it too complicated because we had a great connection between the volunteers.

The third project was in Krakow, Poland. We helped organize a Jewish culture festival. Krakow holds a special place in my heart with its amazing architecture, friendly people, and unique city vibe. I would love to return there as a volunteer again.

My fourth project was in France, near Toulouse, about 40 minutes away by bus. This project was very meaningful to me as well. There was a charity shop where we accepted donated items, repaired them, and sold them. I met a lot of very nice people there, and we became friends.

All my life, I’ve tried to be a creative person and to see things from a different perspective, almost like seeing art in everything. I hope my life path will always be connected to art, and I aspire to create many beautiful things in the future.
