Description

Ciao and Zdravo,

We are Clara and Ali, an adventurous pair of two forever curious souls, always combining Bosnian tradition with Italian...everything. Ali comes from a small village in the south of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Clara originates for Venice, Italy. Our paths crossed while we were working in Bosnia on humanitarian missions and together we wish to continue helping people in need.

Clara has always been interested in bio farming, nutrition and natural sustainability. She always thinks about food (as a true Italian) and does a lot of research about the healthiest ways of eating. She is a nature and human lover-a passionate humanitarian aid worker with years of experience working in refugee camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Bulgaria, primarily with children and teenagers. She has a lot of experience and really knows how to make a loving, nurturing place for those seeking refuge from wars, poverty or any other reason.

Ali comes from a agricultural family, with over 500 chickens and various fruits and vegetables they have built a small bio-organic shop with eggs, olive oil and pomegranate juice. Besides this he has always been interested in human rights, having created his own youth organization back in 2014 advocating for the abolishment of ethnical segregation in Bosnia's educational system. In the following 10 years he has coordinated countless youth projects, worked on state and regional stability in a post conflict society such as Bosnia, and gained field and office experience in post conflict resolution. Now he is working in a circus school in France where he uses circus art to empower children and young adults, providing them a sense of community and a nurturing environment.

We both have a lot of experience working with children and young adults, often coming from difficult backgrounds. We know how to implement a lot of activities, come up with knew ones, and in general make the environment super relaxed and warm, while passing on important skills and knowledge to the children and anyone involved.

Languages:

Clara speaks her native Italian, fluent English and Russian. Ali speaks his native Bosnian, fluent English and French. We would both love to learn Arabic.

We offer a lot of love, compassion and understanding. We are clean, respective of other people and animals. We both know how to cook, and have a little bit of gardening experience acquired last year with one of the Workaways that we did. We are also not shy of DIY's, so getting our hands dirty is not an issue at all.

When we travel somewhere we don't do it just to milk out the benefits that we can get, we also put effort into creating great experiences for everyone, helping in every way we can as well as learning about the place and people where we travel.

We always work as a team.

Last year we spent 3 wonderful months in Turkey, where we had 4 workaway hosts, and each one provided a unique experience that we will never forget.

We would love to hear about your story and the ways in which we can create new memories, friendships and help those in need.

Thank you for reading and speak to you soon.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Clara has studied linguistics at the University level and has always been interested in languages. She studied Russian and a couple of years went to live there. Wherever she went to live and work she always tried to learn the language (some were harder than others-Georgian being the hardest). Ali, on the hand, is bilingual with English and Bosnian being his mother tounges. Right now he is studying French. Our next mission is to learn Arabic.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Ali finished International relations and diplomacy and continued to pursue a career of working in Humanitarian organizations focused on defending human rights.

Clara studied Linguistics in Italy, specifically Russian. She also has a MA in International relations and diplomacy. After her studies she has pursued a career of humanitarian work, helping others in need.

We have both started working from a very young age (16-18) and have been independent during our adult life. We traveled and lived in different parts of the world for a considerable part of our life (UK, Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Bulgaria, France and Turkey). We are also middle children in our families... we had to learn to survive even before heading out to the world.

Because of this, we managed to become reliable and trustworthy, knowing the value of things. We have had to work hard for our success, but also be kind and considerate, not doing it by stepping on other peoples toes. To be a good person is the most important to us.
