Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
Hello! I've been on and off the road for the past 10 years. Absolutely adore being in nature, exploring new countries, learning from each other's culture, and practicing languages.
My next destination:
Australia - from Dec 2024 until May 2025 View all
Description
I think of myself as upbeat and adventurous.
Always to be found with a smile on my face because seeing someone else smile makes other people happy (mirror neurons!) So I live with a positive outlook, happy to have experiences and be alive :)
Prefer to be surrounded by nature (LOVE skiing, cycling, hiking, and swimming)... but I equally appreciate the culture and eclectic activities of a vibrant city-- art galleries, nice restaurants, walks in the the city square
I tend to explore lesser known places, or known places in different or unique ways. Prefer to live somewhere long enough to experience the culture.
I did 16 workaways up until 2019, when I began seasonal work. I've been working in Greece, Malta, and France the past 4 years in tourism with a focus on childcare and management.
I've just spent 4 amazing months in Central Asia.
Currently in Egypt.

VARIETY of experience- Managed large teams, taught English in summer camps, cooked for refugee organizations, waitressed in ski resorts & beach resorts, been an Aupair, worked reception & hk in various hostels, created workshops & designed flyers for NGOs, created events independently, helped harvest on farms, helped painting walls & sanding wood.... up to ANY task!
For the past few years my work has been in tourism management (managing children's centers in large luxury hotels and managing family-focused chalets in the French alps).
1. Artsy things! Photography, drawing, dancing, singing, playing piano, & learning guitar :)
2. Languages- I speak Romanian and English fluently, highly conversational in Spanish and Italian, know bits of other languages as well..
3. English Teaching- Have about 7 years experience teaching kids and adults all around the world; private lessons, school lessons, in summer-camps, and online lessons.
4. Event-planning/coordinating- One big passion of mine is bringing people together and creating activities where we can meet and learn from one another! I also like helping people plan parts of their own life & travel.
5. Hosting workshops, public speaking- I believe there are NO limits to learning! I enjoy speaking in front of people, and creating an atmosphere of shared knowledge.
6.. Yoga, meditation, philosophy and writing... I tend to be equally extroverted and introspective. Love to facilitate deep discussions with others, as well as share moments of tranquility together.
7. Blogging/vlogging/website design/graphic design- I love making videos, flyers, social media posts...etc.
But, I believe that my biggest skill is my happiness and outlook on life.
I believe everyday is a great day if we choose to see it as such.
The invisible (our thoughts) creates the visible (our world)!
Age
30
What else ...
Studying, working, and volunteering my way around the world since 2014.

Important- This review is based on my time in the LOW tatras resort (Jasna)

When I first found this place, looking at the website and reviews, I thought no way... this has to be too good to be true, I almost thought it was a scam, ha!

I extended my Cambodian visa because everything was amazing to me, the Khmer staff and the owners, the nature, the food, the volunteers… I couldn’t have been happier.
But I must be truthful too.
If you are coming here (especially as an artist) you MUST speak in advance about days off.
And perhaps,… read more
Two meals are included per day.
It’s not too clean... and for me a bit strange to be the only girl with 10+ guys living there.. but it is what it is.
Pretty much the whole staff is awesome :P
