Descrição
Hey there! 🌿

My name is Victoria, I'm 26 years old. Originally I'm Russian, but over the last 3 years I indulged in culture of Turkey and recently the Balkans! I enjoy nature, hiking, peaceful walks, swing dance, travel, yoga and meditation. I love learning, and I'm craving finding ways for better and happier living. I love sea turtles from the bottom of my heart, and I dream of becoming a marine biologist.

I'm very kind, affectionate and open-minded person who has a very strong connection with nature. My life mission is to make the world a better place, and my pipe dream is that all people and animals live in peace and harmony with nature and each other. Volunteering is a great part of my life (both personal and professional), and I can't see myself not helping others.

I have 2 remote flexible part-time jobs: I work as an international volunteering coordinator for a russian NGO "Goodsurfing", and I also teach English online.

What drives me the most in Workaway is a chance to experience different ways of life, meet people from different backgrounds and see the world through their lens, visit new places, open new perspectives, learn new skills, and be helpful for the world.

I did my first Workaway last summer with the loveliest couple in Cyprus at their permaculture-based farm, where I was helping with garden-related works, and I loved it a lot! I enjoy working with plants and soil, as well as living in remote places surrounded by nature. I've also been saving sea turtles over the last 4 years, working in early mornings and sometimes late nights at the beaches.

I will be happy to contribute to eco- and sustainability-related projects 🌱

Quais são suas habilidades?
I've got some experience in taking care of plants and seeding (during Covid, my flat became a jungle) and I really love doing this work! I've got a some experience in harvesting, weeding, pruning, mulching etc. when I was doing my Workaway in Cyprus. I love and I can take photos, do handicraft.

In fact, I'm willing to learn, I learn very fast and with a high responsibility. All the works related to gardening/harvesting/planting/weeding will bring me a lot of joy!

Algo mais...
I strive to embrace the beauty of a slow, simple life, which makes me who I am. I believe that less is more. I find peace in nature and cherish the quiet moments away from the noise of civilization. I choose to create and multiply love and happiness.

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
