Description

Hello,
My name is Saša. The last time I used workaway was 2018-2019 when I was traveling on my own through South America. It was the most enriching journey, and exhilarating adventure I have had in my life. Since then I have been back home in Slovakia from where I started to work and study. My South America trip changed my path of profession and gave me the courage to start from 0 leaving my tourism studies to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I found a greater sense and understanding in the holistic way Chinese medicine views life, functioning of the human body and our connection with nature and everything around us. Chinese medicine is much more than finding treatment for disease, it is a philosophy, a way of life, to find a balance and peace in the mind and body and connect with nature so disease can rarely appear and develop. It is a very fascinating topic for me, which I am eager to continue expanding my knowledge on during my studies and also happy to share and exchange interesting conversations and knowledge with likeminded people interested in this area :)

In a few word I would describe myself as a friendly, honest, motivated, loyal, easygoing and adventurous person. I love challenging myself, stepping out of my comfort zone and learning new things. I am a hard worker and take responsibility and commitments seriously but I also like to slow down and enjoy the present moments as much as I can at the right time.

I enjoy making spontaneous plans with friends and exploring unknown places.
My passion for dance has lead me throughout my whole life and I enjoy keeping an active lifestyle, sports, running, yoga, biking, skating, paddle boarding anything that keeps my moving.

My ultimate place to recharge is spending quality time in nature whether it is mountains, a meadow, forest or the beach, finding a calm location with no one in sight just the birds chirping or the sound of waves breaking helps me to connect with myself.
As much as I love my alone time I also like to balance it out with spending quality time with close friends and family, enjoy social gatherings and dancing with great music and meeting new people from different cultures and countries.

More details about your skills

- I have many experiences with child care. I have a 8 years younger sister that I used to baby sit when she was younger. In my last years of high school I used to teach dance classes to kindergartners and organise learning classes about different important topics for them. While traveling in South America I stayed with family for a month and looked after their 3 year old son and 6 years old daughter. I also babysit my friends children from time to time. I really enjoy the presence of children it makes me feel alive in a different sense, I think their energy and pure hearts and minds make me stay completely present and enjoy more the simple joys of life and each moment from a different perspective.
- I have experience working in a event management and team building agency, I can help with organising events, guiding groups.
