  • Description

    My name is Darija. My passions are nature, yoga, travel, personal development, music, dance. Officially (😁), I have a master's degree in economics. After graduating from college, I worked in several marketing agencies, and during that period, I realized that it is not something that fills my soul or something that I would spend my time on. Three years ago, I started traveling by myself, mainly to volunteer.

    I returned from India a few months ago, where I spent a magical seven months (out of the planned 2). I deepened my knowledge about yoga, but also about myself. I traveled alone by train from one end of India to the other. I have volunteered in hostels, yoga retreats.
    I also spent a month in Nepal, where I volunteered in schools with children.

    Although solo traveling can be lonely at times, it somehow balances out and makes up for it when you meet wonderful people along the way who you connect with on a special level. As if your soul recognizes, at every moment, what kind of contact you need, and it comes to you - through local people, through other backpackers, etc.


    𝐌𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖
    I work as a yoga teacher. I attend a Personal Development school that lasts four years (currently entering the third year). I conduct sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls (I finished school in India, and there I bought 15 handmade bowls that I brought to Croatia, that was something, because the bowls weighed 24 kg, and I had to drop almost everything I owned in order to be able to take them with me, but it was worth it 😊).
    I like conscious dance (connecting body and breath, releasing emotions and everything inside us through movement).
    I also like salsa and bachata and music and dance in general.

    𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐈 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑
    Having worked in several hostels and yoga retreats, I can offer cleaning, maintenance, breakfast preparation, reception work, and everything else that goes along with keeping the business running. I learn quickly and manage on my own, for example, in San Francisco I guided a bike tour around the city for hostel guests, in Barcelona once a week I had to prepare lunch for about 30 people, etc., so I'm used to challenges, and I love them.
    I can also offer yoga classes. Although I worked in marketing agencies for four years and have some knowledge of marketing, I have not been involved in it for more than a year and have no desire to do so, but, that job taught me professionalism, contact with clients, business communication, so I consider myself a good candidate for working with people (reception, leading tours, etc.).

    𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘, 𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘
    I consider myself a capable and strong woman. I take responsibility for my life and my decisions. I am connected to myself, my inner self, and my intuition, and I follow it. I'm sensitive, not in the way that I get into other people's emotional states and fall apart, but I can feel people, understand them and create a safe place for them to go through any emotion they are at the time. I am a good listener, cheerful, positive, and simple. I love deep talks. I am not a fan of drama. I like taking action. I love people, I love nature and animals. I love life.
