Hello Everyone!
My name is Miguel Caffarena Sellamito, I am eighteen years old and I am Spanish.
To begin with , I live in a little village in Málaga (south of Spain), which is located next to the coast, it is quite charming and has an incredible natural beauty.
Brief description about myself:
I am a student who has just finished upper secondary education and is currently taking a gap year before going to university in Sweden. I would like to use this gap year to get to know new ways of living and cultures. Besides that, my main interest are ecology, permaculture, rewilding nature and reforesting devastated landscapes. Therefore, I am looking for experiences that can expand my knowledge and skills in those areas, that would be absolutely incredible for me, I am eager to learn as much as I can.
I plan to study a bachelor degree focused on reforestation, ecology and managing ecosystems. I must say that even though I have some knowledge on the forementioned areas, I am no expert since my secondary education was quite general.
Moreover, I have unconditional love for nature, I find joy observing wildlife and plants.
Apart from that, I am keen on sports as well, I play organised basketball at a competitive level and I go to the gym six days a week, so I dare say that I am in a really good shape.Interests

I am a person who learns very quickly and more importantly, I am willing to do so.
Furthermore, I have some basic theoretical knowledge in biology and ecology, and I would love to acquire practical knowledge, in those subjets and in farming and animal caring among others.
I am used to doing house work (cleaning, cooking etc.) and I feel it my duty to collaborate with the people who host me in their house.
I am quite fit so I can lend a hand with phisically demanding tasks, but I can also help solving logstic and thinking issues since I am really creative. Moreover, I am an adaptable, hard working, disciplined and team worker person, I am highly sociable as well.Age
