Description
**UPDATE**: I have already found hosts for my trip

Hey there! My name is Nil, I'm 26 and I'm from Catalonia.

I have a deep passion for exploring and learning about the world, and during my previous workaway experiences I was fortunate to connect with amazing people and contribute to very cool projects. This year 2024 I have the opportunity to do workaway again so here we are!

I'm especially interested in projects related to sustainability, ecology, education, culture, tourism and art, but I'm open to all sorts of opportunities.

I'm a language enthusiast. I have a degree in Translation and Interpreting and now I'm studying a postgraduate degree to become a language teacher. I'm speak and have studied several languages (currently studying Serbo-Croatian), and I always love practicing languages and learning/sharing new words, expressions and fun facts about languages and linguistics. Apart from that, I'm very interested in anything related to culture, history, art, architecture, music... as well as nature, animals, plants... always with a sustainable, progressive and egalitarian perspective.

I consider myself a responsible, hard-working, open-minded, flexible and easy going person. Whenever I do something I try to do it the best I can, especially if I'm helping others, and I always try to improve my skills

Can't wait to meet some cool people!

Laissé par le workawayer (Nil) pour l'hôte (Help at my dog shelter and ...)

He estat fent de voluntari a la protectora de gossos de la Branka durant 3 setmanes, i m'emporto una experiència que sempre recordaré per tots els bons moments i les oportunitats d'aprenentatge. Des del primer moment la Branka em va fer sentir com a casa i em fa oferir una hospitalitat inigualable. Les meves tasques consistien sobretot a tenir… read more

Nil is one of those volunteers who prove that anything is possible if you want something and if you believe in it.
He never had experience helping in a place like this, but that didn't stop him from learning to run a dog shelter on his own in a few weeks.
I'm certainly not an "easy-going character", but he saw only good things behind my behavior,… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Nil) pour l'hôte (Share your culture and learn ...)

I feel very fortunate and thankful that I was able to volunteer with these people. I stayed with them for almost two months and they gave me one of the best summers of my life. I felt very welcome from the first day, you can tell these people really want you there and appreciate your work, but not only that, they make sure to include you in their… read more team and together with the other volunteers there's always lots of cool plans that you can join. I was never bored, and they gave me the chance to experience a lot of stuff (like banya, rafting, hiking, visiting the region, etc.), discover a lot about Russian culture and practice my Russian skills.

If you know some Russian but you haven't been able to practice your speaking and listening skills very much, this is a great place to go. In my case, speaking and understanding Russian was a bit hard at the beginning, but what really helped me was working with kids. It was a bit easier than with adults, and that made me improve my skills. My host also helped me a lot with that (and a lot of other things), and after some time I was able to speak with more and more people. If you don't speak any Russian that's fine too, everybody in the team speaks English so they will help you with everything.

About work, I just loved it! I was in three camps in late June/July, and then I was helping with the activities in the city in August. If you go you to the camps, know that the schedule is busy and you work long hours, but believe me you won't want to go anywhere else. It's a lot fun all day long, and there are a lot of other volunteers and counselors, so you just can't get bored. I had never worked with kids or in camps, and I was worried that it would be too hard or that they would not behave, but the kids really want to be there and respect you a lot. They have a lot of interest in getting to know you and where you come from, spending time with you, playing, etc. You just feel so loved there. I miss them (and everybody else) so much! Your task as a volunteer is to help the counselors with the different activities that they have already planned, and also some days do presentations about your country and run some clubs in the afternoon. I ran the Spanish Club with the Colombian volunteers, and it was about teaching the basics of the language. So nothing is too hard, just go with the flow and be ready to join them in everything to get the most of the experience. When the camps were over and we were back in Barnaul it the work was a lot more relaxed but still as enjoyable, so there's options for everybody.

Друзья, thank you so much for everything, I hope I can come back one day. Us estimo!

Nil is a great volunteer and a counselor.

He became friends for all other counselors and kids. Whenever we needed help, he was always there for us. He always maintained a positive attitude and was flexible, reliable at all times.

I can only say thank you so much to Clare and Mike for this fantastic experience. Right from the first moment they made me feel at home.
