Description

Hey !
I'm Simona, a Bulgarian living between in France and Italy for the last 6 years.
I just finished my long studies and I’m taking some free time for new experiences and discoveries.

Kindness, honesty, enthusiasm, tolerance and open-mindedness are some of the values that I try to live up to in my everyday life. I have natural curiosity about... everything and believe that we can learn something interesting from every person we meet.

People tend to describe me as a calm person who brings serenity around. I can easily adapt to different environments and enjoy meeting new people as well as spending time alone.

I have mostly experience in the field of mental health topics due to my studies. I’ve worked with children and adolescents, as well as elderly. I practice meditation and yoga (without being a super expert :D) and I’m like all kind of creative activities.

Spending time in nature is something that I appreciate more and more and I’m quite interested in gaining knowledge about all kind of plants and animals. I enjoy gathering wild herbs and right now I’m learning about symbiotic gardening.

Due to my experiences in different countries, I practice different languages on an everyday base. I’m fluent in English and French, and Bulgarian of course. I’m getting more and more comfortable with Italian and I’ve some knowledge of Russian. I like learning languages and I also enjoy helping others practice.

I’ve been travelling around Europe and North Africa these last years, solo backpacking or with a camping car with my boyfriend and friends.

I would like to try a different travel experience, one that involves doing something meaningful and helpful, as well as developing new skills.

And Workaway seems a wonderful opportunity for it ! ^^

More details about your skills

As a a medical professional in the field of mental health , I have a valuable experience working with people of all ages. My specialisation in child and adolescent psychiatry has provided me with some important knowledge about working with children. I’m naturally calm, patient, and genuinely enjoy connecting with others.

I’ve lived in several countries and currently use four languages on a daily basis (english, fresche, bulgaruan and italian). I’m very comfortable in multicultural environments and reader to share my knowledge . I’m adaptable, open-minded, and always curious about new cultures and ways of life.

During my university years, I gave presentations and supported teaching in medical departments, which helped me build certain communication and teaching skills.

I’m also passionate about sharing knowledge around self-care and psychological well-being. Through my background in psychiatry, I’ve worked with different psychotherapy methods and love offering insights and simple tools that support emotional balance and mental health in everyday life.

In addition to that, I have love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve also been developing some gardening skills lately and I’m always ready to help around the house and cook.

I enjoy painting, photography and I have done some diy projects.

I’m always motivated to learn new things and I adapt easily to different environments.

Looking forward to meaningful exchanges, learning opportunities, and shared experiences with kind-hearted people around the world!
