United States - from Sep 2022 View all
Description
Updated on January 2023.
Hi, I am Palina and I use them/them pronouns. Originally from Europe, I explore the US now.
I am calm and joyful. I like waking up at dawn and doing yoga or a morning run. I prefer long walks in nature more than sitting in front of my laptop at home. I am used to volunteering and couchsurfing, and I know how to be responsible for my actions, I respect others and their property and I try to bring joy anywhere I go.
I really like cleaning and taking care of animals. However, it is even more exciting for me to do something I have never tried before. I prefer developing new skills over doing something I am used to.
I try to be mindful and live a conscious life, and I am looking for a place with the same-minded people.

More details about your skills
Though I grew up in a city, my volunteer year in the Netherlands was full of farming and gardening in the countryside. There I learned how to drive a tractor, cut a piece of wood, and fix bikes.
I love animals. I used to do pet sitting in the past.

Special dietary requirements
I used to be a vegetarian, however, now I eat meat sometimes. I prefer eating healthy food (love veggies and fruits). I would choose plain food over spicied and plant milk over cow milk.

Mostly I was weeding, picking up strawberries, sweeping a floor outside, doing babysitting and walking with the dog. Because of the way they treated me it was really pleasurable to help Alwin's family with everything they asked me. I… read more
I could easily combine cleaning, checking in-out the guests, and preparing breakfasts with surfing, skating, and dumpster diving at my free time. During the weekdays at pre-season it was very chill at the camp:)
