Description
Hi, my name is Lena, and I’m from Kazakhstan. My first experience with workaway was when I went to Austria to pursue my Master's degree, and it was absolutely incredible! I had the chance to visit amazing places and meet wonderful people along the way. I’ve done workaways in family-run hotels in Norway and Sweden, in magical Lapland in Finland, and at an English café in South Korea. Each of these experiences left me with warm memories and a deep appreciation for the kindness and generosity of my hosts.
I’m calm, hardworking, and always eager to lend a hand. I can speak four languages and have been fortunate to explore more than 30 countries. I’d also love to share stories and tell you about the rich culture of Kazakhstan, my home country in Central Asia.
