Description

Hi! 😊

I’m Paula, I’m 32 and from Poland. I’ve been travelling almost non-stop for nearly 4 years. I love meeting interesting people, sharing experiences and getting to know places from a more local perspective.

I absolutely love animals and have quite a bit of experience working with them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, and in Germany I helped care for dogs with PTSD who had been brought over from Ukraine. I worked on their socialisation, building trust and preparing them for adoption, as well as helping them find new homes. So working with animals is definitely something I genuinely enjoy.

I love learning new things and developing practical skills. I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty - quite the opposite! I actually enjoy work where you can see the results at the end of the day. I’m happy to help with animals, gardening, cleaning, organising spaces, renovation work or pretty much anything that involves rolling up your sleeves and getting things done. I also have experience working as a kitchen assistant and hotel cleaner, so hard work doesn’t scare me. 😉

I have quite a diverse professional background. I worked as a personal trainer for several years, as well as in marketing and social media. I also worked as a truck driver in Scandinavia, driving a 25-metre road train. So if I can manoeuvre a vehicle that size, I’m pretty sure I can handle a tractor, wheelbarrow or lawn mower too. 😄

I’m fluent in English, currently working on improving my Russian, and my next goal is to learn Italian.

For several years I travelled with my friend Łukasz, so if you look through the reviews from our previous Workaway experiences, you’ll probably see his name mentioned there too. I’ve been travelling on my own for some time now. I’m independent, adaptable and quite easy-going — I don’t need much to feel at home.

A few practical things about me: I don’t use any drugs, not smoking I don’t have any allergies and I’m not a picky eater - I eat pretty much everything. I usually avoid gluten, but I won’t die if I have some from time to time. 😄 I also always travel with health insurance, so I like to be prepared rather than surprised.

I’m curious about the world, I enjoy people who don’t take themselves too seriously, and I definitely prefer real experiences over perfect postcards. What I’m looking for in Workaway is not only the chance to help, but also to learn something new, meet local people and simply spend my time in a meaningful way. 😊

I’m fluent in English, although it’s still my second language, so I’d love to keep improving it through everyday conversations. I’m also working on my Russian and would really like to make progress with it. My next challenge is to learn Italian. So if you speak any of these languages, I’ll happily practise with you!

We were incredibly lucky to spend this time in your home and be a part of your life. Taking care of the dogs, helping with daily tasks, and working together on projects brought us so much joy. Your warmth, openness, and kindness made us feel at home from day one.

It has been a great pleasure and a relief to have Paula and Lukas involved in our lives over the past couple of months.
They helped with the care, feeding and exercise of our many rescue dogs, in sickness and in health. They completely renovated the dog-damaged living room in the downstairs apartment.
Lukas single-handedly trimmed the entire … read more

Five star superstars! When Paula and Luckasz arrived I was ill. I remember laying on the sofa and hearing them have detailed design discussions about a built in wardrobe that I said I wanted to create and they could take on as a project if they wanted to.

Very nice time has been spent together while Paula & Lukasz where here at the Sanctuary. Very easy going, they slipped naturally in the rhythms of the space and supported it immensely while being pretty self-reliant. It was also a pleasure to spend time at the end of days together and share our meals. :)
