Descrição

Hi there! 🌞

We’re Anna and Viktoriia, two best friends who met while volunteering on a sea turtle conservation project in Turkey. Since then, our shared love of travel, nature, and new experiences has brought us together on many adventures!

A little bit about us:

Anna is an English teacher and a passionate animal lover. She has volunteered with birds in Russia and participated in sea turtle conservation projects in Turkey three times. She likes hiking, pottery and learning languages.

Viktoriia is a yoga teacher and a true nature lover, with a special place in her heart for sea turtles. She finds endless inspiration in nature and deeply appreciates its wisdom, beauty, and incredible interconnectedness. She's 200-hour certified, teaching Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga, as well as meditation. Beyond the physical practice, she deeply values the ancient wisdom of yoga and the way they can help us become more conscious, compassionate, and connected — both with ourselves and the world around us.

We both love spending time outdoors, gardening, hiking, cooking, music, art, and discovering new places. We enjoy a simple, peaceful lifestyle close to nature, appreciate good food and meaningful conversations, and care deeply about ecology and sustainable living. 🌿

What brings us to Workaway?
For us, travelling is about much more than visiting new places. We're curious about different ways of living, alternative lifestyles, and communities that choose to live closer to nature and in a more conscious, sustainable way.
We love meeting local people, learning about their cultures, traditions, and everyday lives, and exchanging experiences along the way. We believe that some of the most meaningful travel experiences come from becoming part of a place, sharing everyday moments, learning new skills, and connecting with people from different backgrounds.

What can we offer?
We're adaptable, easy-going, open-minded and cheerful people! We enjoy working as part of a team, are happy to get our hands dirty, and aren't afraid of trying something completely new. We're responsible, enthusiastic, quick learners, and always happy to lend a hand.

We would love to contribute to:
• Gardening, planting, weeding, harvesting and caring for plants
• Animal care and wildlife conservation projects
• Cooking, housekeeping and everyday tasks
• Eco-projects, permaculture and sustainable living initiatives
• Yoga, meditation and sharing our knowledge and skills

Most importantly, we enjoy good company, laughter, meaningful conversations, and the little joys of everyday life. We don't take ourselves too seriously and believe that working together can be both productive and fun!
We're excited to meet welcoming people, discover new ways of living, learn from each other, and hopefully make some beautiful friendships along the way. 🌞

What can you tell about a place where you happened to stay for 4 months instead of 1 planned?❤️ Now Stanko (Steve), Astra and Sofie are just like my second family. It was my first experience pet sitting, and I am head over heels with the pets! It has been said millions of times, but Astra and Sofie are truly the smartest animals I've ever … read more

This volunteering experience with Marina felt like a great adventure! During the call before our arrival, it was already clear what a caring and interesting person Marina was. She picked us up (me, Grazia and Davide) from the train station, and then we ventured to our first cultural activity: that day the village was celebrating a church holiday. … read more Marina introduced us to so many of her friends and neighbours (who are also lovely people) and fully immersed us into the culture of Montenegro, which I appreciate endlessly. I was able to feel a part of a local community for this ~1 week of my stay!
The work itself was very pleasant for me. Before our arrival, Marina ensured to get all the tools for us (and even buy some new ones) to feel comfortable doing the job. Mainly, we were cleaning drystone walls from poison ivy and other plants around, and then burning it, but also we helped a little around the property (e.g. we made a compost and weeded around). Marina was taking us literally everywhere in our free time. We visited the beach next to an absolutely stunning walking route, we saw Virpazar, we walked an Austro-Hungarian hiking route down the river, where Marina was sharing heartwarming stories about her childhood and how reasons why it is important to preserve that place. We were also able to taste local wine Vranac and home-made Rakija! (the village is Montenegro's wine region) Marina was such an inspiration, who was really concerned about the cultural heritage of her country and the village in particular. At our days off, Marina showed us Cetinje, Kotor, Lovcen National Park, and then we went for a hike with a local guide. It was just a perfect match of people fond of linguistics, as we would always compare the words we use in our languages (Serbian, Russian, English, Italian, and Swedish), which was a perfect language exchange for me!
The village is absolutely stunning, located on a mountain with incredible (to my taste) views. There alre lots of places and hiking routes to see and walk. It was a small paradise. Marina gave us her own room to live in, which was really cozy, and we had our own bathroom as well (with a heater for hot water). We were cooking in turns, and Marina ensured to follow each one's diet (I am pescetarian), so everyone was happy. I miss the orange cat and that wonderful time we spent together <3

It was wonderful having Victoria over for some late autumn projects around our property. She is a true nature lover and adventurer, with a great sense of community and sharing. She enjoys experimenting with food and treated us to delicious meals on several occasions. She demonstrated a strong sense of independence in her work, preferring clearly … read more

I stayed with Hasan and Ziba for ~10 days this June, and in my very first days it became clear that I would't find any better Workaway experience for myself.
Ziba and Hasan are amazing people with wonderful personalities. I learnt a lot from them. Throughout all my stay I was treated like an old good friend: we were sharing meals together (no … read more

Viktoria only lived with us for a short period, but she rapidly adjusted to both the living conditions at home and the gardening. She was very helpful to us in a short period of time. It was a delight to share a house with her and work together. Thanks, Viki for all your contributions and friendship ❤️ It was a pleasure for us to work with you and … read more
