Description

Hi! I’m Zala, a 24-year-old from Slovenia, currently getting ready for a new adventure in South America. I’m curious, open-minded, and passionate about cultural exchange, nature, and meaningful human connection. I’ve just completed my university degree in tourism and have been involved for years in my family’s eco-tourism business in the Slovenian Alps – helping with everything from guest services and marketing to hands-on tasks around the property.

Now I’m excited to travel solo, contribute my time and energy, and grow through real-life experiences. I’ll be volunteering in Argentina first and looking to connect with hosts who need a hand and are open to sharing their way of life.

🧰 What I Can Help With

I’m versatile, quick to learn, and happy to help in many ways, including:

• Childcare or family help (I love working with kids)
• Hospitality and tourism-related tasks
• Housekeeping and light cleaning
• Gardening or simple outdoor work
• Cooking and meal prep (I enjoy healthy food!)
• Content creation (writing, Canva design, social media)
• English practice or conversation exchange

I speak Slovenian (native), English (fluent), and Spanish (basic) – but eager to improve!

🌻 Why I’m on Workaway

I believe in the power of slow travel and cultural immersion. I don’t just want to see places – I want to understand them. I hope to build friendships, learn new skills, and offer something valuable in return. Workaway seems like the perfect way to do that.


🌟 A Few More Things About Me

• I’m very respectful of people’s space and privacy
• I’m clean, organized, and reliable
• I love dancing (especially Latin rhythms), hiking, and deep conversations
• I’m on a journey to grow as a digital nomad, so I may also be working online in my free time (flexibly and quietly)

I’m looking forward to connecting with hosts who value good energy, mutual respect, and open communication. If that’s you – I’d love to hear from you!

Warm regards,
Zala 🌞
