Descripción

Hi, my name is Tara and I am proud to say that I am a Londoner with Bosnian roots. My mixed nationality and experience travelling to various countries has broadened my perspective on the vastness of the world and different ways of living. These experiences have opened my eyes to how landscape, climate and environmental factors can shape cultures and the way people relate to one another. I’ve seen a stark contrast between life in a big city in comparison to the gentle ways of towns and villages…

This juxtaposition of places has been complex at times but has nurtured me into an open-minded, adventurous, intuitive, appreciative, empathetic and understanding person. It has given me a better understanding of my body and the benefits of staying physically active, whilst eating food that nourishes you.

Now, my life is taking me on a journey to find the balance between the countryside and the city. Having grown up in London but frequently visiting the Balkans each year has allowed me to explore both worlds. However, as the years have passed, travelling back to the city after every summer has become harder and harder to come to terms with.

My family and I have forever dreamed about creating a commune which would function on sustainability, yoga, meditation, discussion groups and hiking. Workaway is my opportunity to see how people are turning my dream into a reality. I hope to grow, to learn and discover even more about the different parts of myself.

I look forward to meeting many new places and faces.

So, let’s connect and I see you on the other side of the Atlantic ocean very soon 🙂.

Que habilidades tienes?

After completing a degree in Religious Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, I have worked in various industries and have furthered my education with numerous courses and workshops.

I am a Personal Trainer with a Level 2 qualification and have always had a passion for mental health awareness. This is because my father has a monastic background from living and working in India as a yogi back in the eighties. Recently, I took part in a tantra course at the Tara Yoga Centre in Old Street, the heart of London. This course made me realise how difficult it is to live a holistic and grounding life in a metropolitan city like London and further inspired me to take action and look for places around the world that are trying to create communities living off grid.

I have also worked with ex-homeless people in sheltered accommodation as their support worker. The aim was to move my clients into more independent living. Many of my clients had severe mental health problems exacerbated by drug and alcohol addictions. This job gave me so much perspective on the social sector in the UK, namely how charities operate, what terms they need to abide by and how helping the vulnerable was not as straightforward as it seems. I learned how to manage challenging behaviours, work in groups as well as become more educated in the mental health sector by completing courses on personality disorders, domestic abuse and learning difficulties.

Currently, I am working in the speciality coffee industry and run a stall in a market in central London. I am trained as a barista and therefore know how to dial beans into a set formula and create perfect latte art. Outside of working hours I DJ at underground events around London. Djing has been a real gift to learn because I have always had a passion for dance, learning different styles like Salsa, Baccata and Samba. Djing has solidified my passion for music, by understanding the structure of a song and how to find tunes to complement each other.

Spending summers gardening in Bosnia and doing a Workaway on a farm in southern germany has allowed me to develop my gardening skills. These include, weeding, fruit picking, sowing seeds, digging up potatoes, collecting herbal teas from the surrounding mountains, searing grass and making it into hay, to name just a few.

Overall, I feel that I am a well rounded person that has a lot of energy and laughter to share with people around me and I look forward to meeting the hosts and other workawayers.

Algo más...

Over the last year I have been consciously implementing healthier choices to my lifestyle. I firstly started by cutting my alcohol intake completely. This has allowed me to focus on hiking, I’ve planned multiple trips around the UK like Dorset and Devon since returning from Bosnia in the summer.

I have also joined a yoga and meditation school where I learn about yogic practices, the art of meditation and how to purify my body with Kriya, a daily morning ritual.

Over the last six weeks, I cut out all refined sugars from my diet. I have seen the biggest changes in my skin and my energy levels have never been so high.

I am very much looking forward to being in environments which will facilitate and encourage healthy eating and living as a normal way of life.
