  • Description

    I have worked in Italy and Israel as HelpX and decided to try Workaway this time as it was recommended to me by my friends. I travelled the world for almost 2 years, went with the flow to explore of what this world has to offer while learning new skills and meeting like-minded people.

    In the past I have competed my workaway on the Vancouver Island. I was involved with housekeeping, preparing breakfasts and dinners, looking after garden, general maintenance, I was even making curtains this time. I also lived off the grid for a period of 6 weeks in Yukon (Northern part of Canada) in very harsh conditions and extreme weather. The temperature dropped to - 30 at times. There was no running water, neither electricity and there was an outdoor toilet only. I learnt how to operate chainsaw, how to cut trees and split wood. I was taught how to start the fire from scratch, how to cook in the darkness, how to remove engine from the car and protect myself from wild animals. This was certainly a life changing experience for me. I have more appreciation for the hot shower and most importantly warm roof under my head. I am not afraid of hard work, neither have my hands dirty :)

    I also helped on a small organic farm in the beautiful mountains in California, looked after chicken and goats, harvested the gardens, got involved in general maintenance around the house and the nearby surroundings, cooked and cleaned too. Everyday brought new challenges, we were invited to explore our talents and skills and take any projects we were keen to explore further. I was working at the ecolodge in Panama, as a receptionist and a helper in the kitchen. In Costa Rica I was helper of the main teachers in the kindergarten. The children were from age of 4 months to 5 years old. We were teaching them to speak English but also how to interact with other children and to enhance all the essential listening and verbal skills. This was an amazing path of understanding of how these little people communicate of what they need in order to progress and to feel loved. This was an eye opening experience for me, especially when you work with 30 children at once.

    In Peru I was involved in work with hostel, guests, tours and cooking too. I also work on a mushroom farm at the moment, building garden beds and chicken fences. I help with maintaining the place, cooking and site building.

    I love to learn the local customs, meeting new people, learning new skills and improve myself as a person. I'm a hard worker, always enthusiastic about new challenges and skills that I could potentially learn and develop. I have various hobbies, some of them include: travelling, yoga, cycling, running, singing, dancing, writing travel blogs, attending motivational talks, learning new languages, cooking and lastly reading literature regarding the power of mind, NLP, spirituality and meditation books.
